it must be Spring
that gets me in an organizing mood
one of the things I love to organize is my yarn ~ matching colors, dreaming of projects ...
when the crafty ladies were at my home for our craft group recently, they loved my little project- baskets
so it's about time I share them with you
all found in thrift stores, in the plastics department
in the most amazing colors, but I choose a fresh mint for this collection
you can imagine my excitement when I found this nylon 'yarn' trio in it's original packaging in a thrift store
~
when I posted a preview of this yarn on Instagram and Facebook earlier this week
I was planning on making a rug
but as I said, it must be Spring that gets me in this organizing mood
so I am finding myself making a crochet yarn basket instead
with hook size 10 mm it goes so fast
especially when you compare this to my regular crochet work ~ the baby blankets on hook size 3 mm
haha, I have a feeling, I very soon will have no nylon yarn left
but a basket or three, for projects on the go, instead !
I am having great fun with these fresh colors ~ they even happen to match my project bag

have you got any experience with yarn this size ?
t-shirt yarn or Zpagetti for example ? How did you like it ?
I have never used yarn that size before. The basket you are making with it looks really neat. I love the colors. Now I feel the need to find me some of this yarn and make my own basket. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your basket, have pinned your picture. Lovely colors. New follower.

It's to early for my to read al the Engels :) But i enjoyed the pictures soo much!
ReplyDeleteHet resultaat is geweldig!! Wat een heerlijke kleuren.
ReplyDeleteHey Maaik,
ReplyDeleteIk heb toevallig eergisteren Zspagetti via Hoooked.nl besteld om twee kleine badmatten te haken! Heb het nog niet binnen, maar kan niet wachten om er mee te beginnen. Ik laat je weten hoe dat gaat!

Wat zijn je foto's weer mooi gelukt! Prachtig die kleuren bij elkaar en mooi gestyled!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors. I am cutting up old t-shirts to make a rug but i am very slow in it. To work with yarn that size is nice but i can not work to long at it at a time.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Maria
great finds and that basket is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove your basket and I'm drooling over your blue yarn stash! Never used nylon yarn or a hook that big but it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLeuk om te lezen dat jij ook foto's met Instagram maakt en plaatst Maaike. Mijn oudste dochter van 22 is daar ook mee bezig! Je post is weer prachtig van kleur. Echt genieten!
ReplyDeleteFijne dag & liefs,
