Perfection Worsted from Kraemer Yarns – Review & Giveaway!

December 10, 2018 Leave a Comment

Yarn was provided by Kraemer Yarns. 

Perfection Worsted from Kraemer Yarns is a real workhorse of a yarn. It's the ideal pick for knitters and crocheters looking to make colorful projects that won't break the bank! Click through for a full review. 
Sometimes you just need a good, go-to yarn that comes in a million colors, is easy enough to launder that you can gift it to anyone, and isn’t a zillion dollars. That’s where Kraemer Yarns’ Perfection Worsted comes in. It’s one of those yarns that has a good combination of wool and acrylic that gives makers many of the advantages of wool yarn. However, the acrylic adds some softness into the mix while also making the yarn more affordable to buy and easier to wash than something that’s, say, 100% wool. The big thing that separates Perfection Worsted from the pack of other wool/acrylic blends (since there are definitely a few out there) is that it’s made in the United States with American wool. Read on for the nitty gritty about this yarn. :)

The Yarn : Kraemer Yarns’ Perfection Worsted

Colorways pictured: Cobalt & Daisy 
Skein details:
 ~200 yd / 3.5 oz  (100g) skeins  /  30% U.S. Merino Wool  / 70% Acrylic
Knitting needles: US 8, 5 mm / 14 sts & 20 rows over 4 inches (10 cm)
Crochet hook: US I-9, 5.5 mm / 15 sc & 18 rows over 4 inches (10 cm)
Cons: It’s still 70% acrylic, although that very much helps make the yarn more affordable and easier to launder.
Pros: Perfection Worsted is an all-purpose yarn available in over 70 colors. If you are looking for a yarn that’s budget-friendly but still contains real wool, Perfection is a great pick for so many projects!
Pattern Ideas: Since this is a worsted weight acrylic blend yarn, I’d be remiss not to suggest the Intarsia Mountain knitting pattern, which was designed with exactly this sort of yarn in mind! Crocheters could definitely give my Granny Throw Pillows a try with Perfection too.

Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see w Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see what my home studio looks like these days. Nothing will ever quite be like the old Hands Occupied Studio, but I’m pretty pleased with how I shoehorned everything in this space. Function over form + a layer of yarn cuteness-meets-chaos is how I’d describe my creative space needs. 😆 When I was still renting the studio, those needs included “doesn’t rain suspicious brown water from a crack in the ceiling for a year,” so this is an improvement! 😆
.
For a time lapse of the studio organizing and tszuj-ing process, scroll down a couple posts on my feed. (There’s also a video or two featuring the old studio if you’re curious.) Happy June, friends!

Who doesn’t love magic loop knitting? Who doesn’t know what it is? How about when circular needles were invented?

Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches on my home studio. After losing my studio space last fall, it’s feels really great to *occupy* this new space all the way. 😉
.
I started by removing general clutter & returning straggler supplies from various WIPs, videos & design deadlines to their homes. Next, I hung a third peg board in the space - this one is mostly for display and less for organizing tools or projects. For the first time ever, I’m displaying projects from my book, plus a couple other faves. (The best thing about designing more yarn crafts besides knit & crochet is that I have some really fun -and delightfully pettable 😆- samples around.) I finished by adding a square dowel to my small supply storage tower to keep it from tipping over, plus re-arranging and de-cluttering the closet. 
.
This cleaner space already has me feeling so much more creative and less overwhelmed. Now to find a safe spot in the basement for the tower of project samples in Rubbermaid tubs I liberated from my WIPs closet. Also why are there five?! 
.
Here’s to keeping it clean for a few weeks! 🧶
