Why not make some festive Christmas tree slime to mark the holidays. Mix in glitter and confetti to make it extra Christmassy. This gorgeous gloopy homemade festive slime from will provide hours of fun! 12. Cute Reindeer burlap ornaments Horizon is colored in hanks, creating stunning color gradients and allowing the yarn to keep its volume. With this type of dying process, the colors may transfer slightly where the threads meet. It’s important to note that this happens before the color is fixated. The colors in the finished yarn will not rub off on each other. These color transfers may be seen as extra spots of color in the yarn.

What's New

West Yorkshire Spinners have definitely got some kind of magic going in their dye house and they create amazing stripes! I think stripy yarns are the best sort of yarns to knit – perfect for pulling you along as you work “just one more colour”, and Gingerbread is no different. There isn’t a photo of the slouch version to show you as it’s very similar to the other two, but this is what the decreases look like on the knee high version so you can see how they work. I was very pleased with the way they turned out – they reminded me of branches of a tree (a Christmas tree, perhaps? 🙂 ) Isn’t it lovely? It’s the perfect gingerbread colour and it’s got Christmassy red, green and white in there too. It’s almost good enough to eat! All of the yarns are striped; Robin matches the other yarns in the Country Birds range, Candy Cane is made up of just three colours which looks very effective, and Holly Berry and Fairy Lights are also striped in a way that will be familiar to those who have knitted with WYS yarn before. Oh, they are so good at creating striped yarns!

Christmas tree slime Here’s the pattern for the Silent Night yarn, first of all. It’s called Comet, as all of the patterns are named after Father Christmas’s reindeer (I told you I would explain!). The Horizon line is spun from premium, anti-pilling acrylic of the highest quality. Among other things, this means that the yarn is processed multiple times, reminiscent of how wool yarn is made. The acrylic is combed, making it extra soft and fluffy. In addition, Horizon goes through a Hi-Bulk process where the yarn is steamed during production, making it contract slightly. This results in a pleasant, soft volume. Dancer is knitted in the new sparkly Fairy Lights yarn. Oh what fun this was to create! I spent a long time searching for just the right stitch to evoke the idea of fairy lights but without all the tangled cables and testing each bulb to see that they worked!The head of Unique Gifts from Luxurious Yarns.
