Marly Bird was asked to decide which yarn and colours she would choose for a kit at a discounted price. She chose one of my favourites, Patons Grace yarn. I love this yarn, but it's hard for me to find it locally. It's an excellent opportunity for this brand's great combination of hues.
When this was updated on July 28, 2024, there was plenty of stock in both the USA and Canadian warehouses.
The kit includes nine balls of Patons Grace. This is mercerized cotton, and I love it for projects intended to last a very long time, including being passed to the next generation. It is also great for home decor and wearables.
This is not your dishrag type of cotton; it's fashion cotton.
