You read that right, friends! This month’s yarn review & giveaway features a favorite of mine, Zen Yarn Garden, and their new Color Bundles. For this review, I swatched all 3 colors of the beautiful blue, black and white Jazzy bundle in both knit & crochet. Read on for what I’ve got to say about them, including project recommendations. This giveaway’s extra great because we’re taking a closer look at a 3-skein bundle of color-coordinating yarn, which means the giveaway is for an entire 3 skein bundle! That’s a whole project! Enter at the bottom of this post, but first, take in the beauty of these color sets as you scroll. :)

The Yarn: Zen Yarn Garden – Serenity 20 Color Bundles

Color Bundles pictured: Jazzy (blue & black) & Vivid (green & eggplant)
Skein details:
The yarn base is ZYG’s Serenity 20 yarn: 400 yds / 366 m skeins; 70% superwash merino / 20% cashmere / 10% nylon per skein
Knitting needles: US 3, 3.25 mm / 20 stitches & 28 rows over 4 inches
Crochet hook: US F-5, 3.75 mm /22 stitches & 28 rows over 4 inches
Cons: This yarn is spun in Italy and hand-dyed in Canada. With cashmere in the mix, there’s a corresponding price tag. But if you consider your yarn an investment in your making process as well as the finished product, it’s not so bad.
Pros: It’s freakin’ hand dyed cashmere! It’s gorgeously dyed in epic, coordinating colors! Enough said.
Pattern ideas: When cashmere is involved, you’ve got to grab the right pattern! I recommend the Top Notched Shawl for knitters looking to experiment with different color stripe combos. For crocheters out there, alternating colors in the Granny Tassel Shawl would be a blast.
Coupon code: The folks at ZYG have also given us a coupon code (use HANDSOCCUPIED) to get 20% off a color bundle through 12/31/18! Can you say Christmas cashmere?

Working on a sample for some upcoming videos. It’s an overcast day with intermittent sunshine & I have a scruffy little sidecar. 🐶 Can’t complain!

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

June’s big ears can get cold in winter, so I’m improvising a doggie ear warmer/hood for her. What are the odds she tries to shred it immediately when it’s done?
