Summer Clay –
Florafil shimmer is a gorgeous, worsted weight cotton yarn. It is super soft and the slight shimmer is so beautiful. I find that the crimped, twisted texture adds the most beautiful 3D marled look to slightly loose open crochet stitches without looking at all messy, but rather looks very crisp and clean. You can create a durable and thick crocheted fabric that is amazingly lightweight and soft. For example, the pictures included show what I mean in a shawl I’m currently working on that is about halfway through and pre-blocked. It is also extremely easy to crochet with and a perfect choice for beginners who want to work with a textured yarn. The best part? The cotton yarn is made in America – a rare treat!
