Lion Brand 24/7 Yarn Review
Today I have a review of another item that all attendees of Yarn and Wine 2016 will be taking home. Lion Brand 24/7 cotton yarn.

Twisted Cowl is the sister pattern to Daniel’s Hat and Scarf set, which is available from the Cast Off Chemo Ravelry store.

Pom Poms & Tassels

If you need a hand making some tassels, I LOVE this tool, or you can see this post on making pom poms with a piece of cardboard. I also have a tutorial on making tassels that you can find here.
Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little bit about each.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
