My brand new design available today! The Perla Top is an easy to intermediate pattern depending on your skill level. It is worked up in Pima Cotton, DK weight from BzyPeach Yarns. It is a lace crochet pattern that works up in 2 rectangles working lengthwise. The rectangles are then pieced together in the front and back, working the neckline at the same time. Then folding it in half the sides are…

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY AM I ONLY GETTING HARD ONES UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--

1. BzyPeach - ALL NON-WOOL YARN! HAND-DYED! BLACK WOMAN OWNED! EXCELLENT YARN! The colors are all inspired by fruit, which is super cool, and they’re all really pretty and slightly less expensive than other hand-dyed yarn companies! 2. SweetGeorgia Flaxen Silk DK and Flaxen Silk Fine - their colors are AMAZING, and yes this is a luxury fiber but it’s SO SOFT and I really enjoy it! Their SeaSilk Lace is also very nice, also expensive, but SUPER pretty! 3. Lily Sugar’n’Cream - I’m going to get flack for this because it’s considered shitty cotton BUT HEAR ME OUT ON THIS: It’s 100% cotton. It’s available in a bunch of really nice colors. IT’S AFFORDABLE. IT’S PRETTY WIDELY AVAILABLE. ALL OF THOSE ARE POINTS IN ITS FAVOR AND I LOVE IT. 4. Panda Yarns - 100% cotton, lots of pretty colors, CUSTOMIZABLE GRADIENT/VARIEGATED YARN, need I say more? 5. Camilla Valley Farm - relatively affordable 100% cotton yarn in multiple weights with lots and LOTS of gorgeous solid colors! Can you tell I’m a fan of cotton? I like cotton.

Honorable mention goes to Hemp for Knitting because of limited skein size and how crispy it is to work with - it gets softer if you beat it to death in the laundry, but it can be a bit of a pain to work with initially. There are also a bunch of synthetic yarns I’m happy to work with, but I’m mostly trying to avoid buying them personally for environmental reasons. Alpaca yarn would be even more sustainable than cotton, but it’s hella expensive. So are, like, three of the five I listed above, but they’re just so soft and pretty I had to.
