Welcome to the first of my favorite *crochet* things post! I thought it would be fun to share these things with you and perhaps they will become some of your favorite *crochet* things.
I just have to absolutely gush over this yarn. There are many reasons for selecting a particular yarn for any given project. You might pick it because it has the color that you need or it's the correct weight for the pattern you're working on. You might even pick a yarn because it doesn't break the bank. (some of those gorgeous yarns cost a fortune!)
This yarn is one of my absolute faves! Here's the breakdown:
Brand: Mary Maxim - Fresh
Weight: 3 Light
Fiber Content: 100% Acrylic
Recommended Hook Size: 4 mm

Why do I love this yarn? It's great for working some more intricate patterns that you don't want to use thread for. It's super soft and it doesn't really unravel as you crochet which eliminates the issue of the hook getting tangled in the string- even if you use a smaller hook size than it recommends (which I often do!). While the color selection isn't as extensive as I'd wish it would be- I would recommend giving it a try on your next mid- to light-weight project.
