Weaving Sticks Bag

Description

Yarn is terrific for all sorts of crafty activities. We love crochet, of course, but sometimes we like the immediate gratification of speedier sorts of yarn play. To explore these options, Crochetscene Editor Marcy Smith teamed up with two of her favorite yarny peeps, Vickie Howell and Lily Chin, to whip up some fiber fun. They tapped in to some of today’s hottest fiber trends: weaving, macramé, and pom-poms, among others.
