The Crochet Aqua Blossoms Hexi Blanket is the next stitch along with our friends at Joann. When I first filmed the tutorial in late November 2023, the yarn was brand new and not even out yet. I've been able to play with it. It's called Caron Jumbo Twirl yarn. It's unique in the way it looks, too.
Marly Bird will be making a sweater. You can get more information on that one as well.

Introduction
The Vibe of the Blanket
I couldn't help but think of tea, sandwiches and nicer weather when I saw this blanket. When I went to Australia in 2023, there was a little tea shop around the corner from our hotel.
Most of the tables had baskets of yarn and knitting and crochet tools. Most of the tables had a beautiful draping crochet afghan that you could use to keep yourself warm if you needed it.
This little tea shop was called The Tea Cosy, located at 7 Atherden Street in Sydney Australia, just a couple small blocks from the Sydney Opera House.
Last spring in 2023, we had the Check Please Crochet Blanket. That stitch along is long over but the pattern and videos remain to be free.

Hey Mikey! I just finished the Aqua Blossoms afghan. I love it! I used Red Heart Ombre in several colors and white and a 6mm hook. Personally I don't like fringe so I added an all round picot border in the white. I posted on Yarnspirations this morning and I'm getting good feedback! Thank you again for a great pattern that was easy to follow and as always beautiful!

Milieu, I have been trying for 4 months to get Caron Jumbo twril yarn in off white. I have had no luck. Can you help me get two skeins or please tell me a good substitute for what I don’t have. I have a beautiful unfinished Afghan and crocheting is the only relaxing thing I have. Thank you for reading my email.

Morning Janis, that's a great question for Yarnspirations. This yarn was made as a limited quantity. Yarnspirations will know where or if this yarn is still available. You can contact them here: https://www.yarnspirations.com/pages/contact
Best wishes.
