    Caron yarn has never disappointed me. Thanks for the review, I am going to have to give the bamboo blend a try.
    But I do have to admit, sitting here in the Deep South where it is already 90 degrees F (& humidity is creeping up) I have to chuckle every time you say "summer shawl" or "summer anything" made from yarn that is not 100% cotton or rayon/cotton blend.

    • @AltKnots
      @AltKnots  4 месяца назад +3

      That's totally fair because where I'm at it's basically sweater season every season😅 I would love to recreate this with 100% cotton too

    Ooh! That shrug turned out super cute!!! And now it's got me thinking of making something similar, maybe even a full on cardigan (which might be a closer to fall project for me since I already have 7 ish wips I'm in the middle of) using a yarn that's actually black and that glow in the dark yarn for the ghosts, or, the idea just popped into my head as I was writing this comment, doing like a moon and stars and kind of creating like a night sky or something

    • @AltKnots
      @AltKnots  4 месяца назад +3

      All of these ideas would be killer but especially the night sky cardigan. With the glow in the dark yarn, are you kidding?! That would be killer🎃

    the shrug is SO cute with the little ghosts! i’ve never used a blend with bamboo before, but you’re tempting me haha

    • @AltKnots
      @AltKnots  4 месяца назад +1

      It's crazy how soft just the little bit of bamboo makes the yarn. Totally worth checking it out in person🎃

    Omg it turned out so cute!!! I love it! 🖤👻 do you have a tutorial for the ghosts? I wanna make some. They’d be cute on so many things; blankets, bags, hats, scarves, sweaters, etc. I have found Caron to be one of my all time favorite yarn brands. Their skeins are always big and they have so many fun colors and textures. I definitely wanna try this bamboo blend one, especially because I want more drape and soft movement in my pieces. 🖤

    • @AltKnots
