More Yarn

So far, I have been using yarn from my stash as I work through Vanessa Mooncie's Crocheted Wild Animals book. It's a practical thing to do. 

I love making toys from scraps but decided to splurge and buy new yarn selecting colours more appropriate for my next "Wild Animal". 

I bought five - 50 g balls of Mary Maxim Ultra Mellowspun DK yarn (70% acrylic, 30% nylon); two each in melon and rose and one in black. I also bought one - 100 g ball of Mary Maxim Trendy Baby DK yarn (100% Antipilling Acrylic) in playful pink print.

This new yarn is super soft, "non-splitty" and easy to crochet with ... perfect for toys. I expect I have found a new favourite yarn for when my 'stash' just won't do. I'm almost finished #9 on my list with this new yarn. 

Can you guess what it is?

I will be sure to share photos when #9 is done. Wait for it coming soon.

Here's the complete list of animals featured in the Crocheted Wild Animals book with the eight I've finished so far listed below.

  1. I didn't look at the list and I thought "octopus". That would such a great toy for your grand kids.

    1. Octopus will definitely be on my list when I start another of Vanessa Mooncie's books "Crocheted Sea Creatures". Crocheting the year away one book at a time.
