There comes a time every year (and often, multiple times each year) when crafters have to restock. I call this time Heaven, especially when STITCHES, a knitting and crocheting trade show of epic proportions, comes to town. Though STITCHES lasts three days, I only went Sunday (to get the best deals so I can bring you more affordable hats), and I may recover in time for next year's event...may.
Over the course of five hours, I visited every booth (and some multiple times) comparing prices, quality, colors, and styles. Wool yarns definitely rule the show, but I don't purchase wool because several customers have expressed a dislike of it because of skin irritation. However, I was still able to find an excellent selection of soft, unique, and eye-popping synthetic yarns that sent my creative gears humming. Sparkly eyelash yarn, multi-textured yarns in all colors, and wispy yarn soft as kitten fur...I got several gems that will make wonderfully unique square hats (or cat hats) and unicorn hats.
I also found a whole lot of new buttons for those hats: wooden buttons, stone buttons, plastic buttons, antique and vintage buttons, metal buttons, glass buttons. I found buttons with floral patterns, buttons with line patterns, buttons with multi-colored flecks inside, buttons made from coconut shells, large buttons and medium buttons, buttons in every color. Buttons just waiting to be paired with the perfect hat.
Though I wasn't able to restock completely, I was able to get enough supplies for some fantastic fancy square hats. I can't wait to see them and share them with you! Don't forget, you can request a custom-made hat anytime; pick your yarn type and color, buttons (or no), and quantity. Use BLOGPOST at checkout to get 10% off your purchase.
