There are a few of you that love to work your beanies from the top-down. I didn’t forget about you at all. Now you can choose which version you’d like to use. If you want to see the version made from the bottom up, you can click HERE. Otherwise, don’t forget to thank Premier for sponsoring the 2017 Christmas Present CAL and scroll down for the top-down version!
Premier wrote a blog post introducing the Candy Shop yarn. “Candy Shop is a Pfirst cousin to our best-selling Sweet Roll™. Like Sweet Roll, it is a medium weight, 100% acrylic. Both Candy Shop and Sweet Roll come in a 140g cake-style ball. Both have 3 colors in each ball. ” If you want to read the full blog post, click HERE. You’ll see a picture of 3 balls in the same colorway but that have a different look to each one!
