Do you like big yarn? We have some. Sally took the plunge and ordered the Big Loop from Loopy Mango! (Their site is gorgeous. Go have a look.) We have taken to calling these yarn babies.
Sally whipped up a blanket in about two hours with one ball of Big Loop and some US50 needles. We have some in stock, since most of us don't have those in our collection. You could just use broomsticks, I suppose.
The pattern is a freebie on the Loopy Mango site. It starts out "cast on 18 stitches..."
I have to admit, I was not expecting to like this stuff as much as I do. It is very snuggly. We also have a few balls of the Big Loop Mini (13 oz balls) in stock. Look at that pink. Wowza.
Jenni used one to make the Eternity Cowl. Cast on 4 stitches. It's wrapped around three times here.
One of the Big Balls will make three of these, according to the pattern. These patterns and several more are available for free on the Loopy Mango site. I am loving the New Yorker Scarf. There are a few crochet patterns, too...a super simple scarf and really nice round rug.
We have more of this crazy cool stuff on the way. Sally has ordered more of the naturals, some grey, and more Dirty Dirty Pink, and we are happy to special order. I'll let you know when it arrives so you can come choose your own yarn baby.
So Cool!! I love the look of it made up!
