Made in New Caron Simply Me
It's cold here in Iowa - and frankly, I can't stand it! Somehow, while I know it isn't *that* cold, it seems to get right to me these days. So when I thought about what *I* want right now (besides a mimosa), it's something made in Caron Simply Me! This yarn is a gorgeous and warm blend of acrylic (easy care), nylon (strong), and wool (breathable and cozy)!
Here's the official blurb from the experts: 'Simply Me is perfect for any project you want to make simply yours! Simply Me is our brand new Bulky weight yarn, designed to be perfect for allowing the personalization of your home decor and apparel needs. This wool blend yarn is soft to the touch and comes in a variety of colors to bring your project to life just the way you envisioned it! Perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike, Simply Me will have everyone looking at your latest project thinking, "That's so you!"'
Create your own Delicious Custom Stripe Pattern!
Once I started crocheting with this yarn, I fell in love! And I decided to let my whims dictate the stripes - I carried all the colors along the inside and just switched as my instinct told me to. Of course, I wrote it all down, so you can do the exact same thing - or you can make it your own with your own color choices and stripe pattern! The Mimosa Crochet Cowl was inspired by the oh-so-juicy colors of Ruby, Lively Mandarin, and Citrine, but I can't wait to see what you mix up too!

Unused yarns were carried along the inside, so that at the end there were only 6 ends to weave in.
