Our Yarn-in-a-Jar design tool is now offered in the 16/2 Cotton. This invaluable tool gives you the opportunity to arrange the colors in endless combinations without having to buy a whole skein of each one or fuss with glued down snippets on a sample card.
These precious nuggets of color, with enough quantity of yarn for designing, can be stored safely in your beautifully labeled jar and dumped into a basket or on a table to mix and match at your leisure.
We now have Yarn-in-a-Jars for all of our Wool yarns, our 22/2 Cottolin, our 8/2 Cotton and our 16/2 Cotton yarns. Linen yarns will be coming soon – stay tuned!
