As the new editor of Creative Knitting magazine, I’m tickled pink to have the ability to share many of the exciting new products to hit the scene. I’ve decided to “share the love,” and give you a chance to win the Eco-friendly and sustainable yarns featured in this bowl!
These 5 yarns will be featured in the July issue of Creative Knitting magazine, in Judith Durant’s informative article: Knitting With a Conscience, a review of some of this season’s new earth-friendly yarns.
