This ribbon is so gorgeous! The color variation is beautiful, and I had a great time crocheting this pretty little scarf I found in The New Granny Square. To me, this stuff is as pretty as some of the silk ribbons I've seen, but at a much friendlier price point.

This was a fun yarn to use and an equally fun pattern to crochet it in. I like the various colors, and I can see a gorgeous shawl made from it. It would also looke good as a carry along with something else.

This was fun to use. It is several strands of beautifully colored linen and cotton, which is nice and soft. It looks great crocheted up in this little pattern from The New Granny Square. That's a great book, too. Definitely worth checking out.
