I know, I know... it's July! And most places around here, it's HOT. But as we crafty people know - winter is indeed coming (too soon!), and with it, the need for cozy, warm, squishy projects and gifts! Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick is one of my favorite super bulky yarns - you can't beat the speed, the look, and the variety! So even though #WinterIsComing... don't worry, #WoolIsComing too!
