Yarn

I highly recommend these yarns as they are my favorites to knit with and those I use myself. Malabrigo, Blue Sky Alpacas, and MadelineTosh yarns are my go-to brands. Links go to Amazon, but please feel free to buy at your local yarn store.

Recommended Yarn: Hand Dyed Bulky by Blue Sky Alpacas

Now discontinued, this gorgeous super-bulky yarn was my go-to for luxurious, quick-knit projects. Perfect for the Double-Knit Heart Scarf or Bulky Cabled Legwarmers with Buttons.

My favorite chunky yarn for felting (and for creating knitting videos).

Perfect for the Fair-Isle Felted Bag and Perfect Basic Crochet Hat.

Queensland Collection Walkabout is a great DK-weight yarn for using with our Felted Slippers class and pattern.

Its heathered colors complement each other, and it is a breeze to work with. Felts beautifully.
