Boca Chica Yarn Review & Giveaway

Yarn was provided for review & giveaway by A Good Yarn. Opinions are my own.

There’s an adorable yarn shop in Florida called A Good Yarn, and they’re not your average LYS. They have their brick and mortar location, yes, but they also have a robust online shop featuring all kinds of goodies for folks who don’t find themselves in Sarasota on a regular basis. Not only that, A Good Yarn offers yarns in custom colorways, and now, an exlusive yarn base too! This month’s yarn review & giveaway features A Good Yarn’s Boca Chica yarn, a fingering weight, chain-construction yarn in 100% superwash merino wool. Read on for the details, including project ideas, and enter to win a generous 480-yard skein!

THE YARN: A Good Yarn’s Boca Chica

Colorway pictured: Coast Guard
Skein details: 480 yards/438 meters per skein // 4.0 ounces/115g per skein // 100% Superwash Merino Wool // Fingering Weight
Knitting needles: US 3, 3.25 mm / 28 stitches & 32 rows over 4 inches (10 cm)
Crochet hook: US E-4, 3.5 mm / 26 sc & 30 rows over 4 inches (10 cm)
Cons: Like many hand-dyed yarns, it’s recommended that makers alternate skeins and prewash as some colors may release excess dye on the first wash.
Pros: The yardage per skein for this yarn is huge! Since the yarn base is unique to A Good Yarn, it’s also something new to mix up your crafting.
Pattern Ideas: Crocheters could make the versatile Market Cowl with this lightweight yarn. The Simple Basketweave Baby Blanket would be perfect for knitters looking to try it, which also comes in variegated colors!
