I really like that shawl. So beautiful! Yes, that is stunning. YES! headband. I mean, that green shawl with a headband would be beautiful on you. Gorgeous yarn, what a sweet gift.
Your shawl is spectacular! You wear that color well and the pattern is beautiful. Arcane Fibreworks not only has beautiful yarn, but his customer service is stellar as well.
Yes, definitely use the yarn! I love that philosophy. Don't save it for the perfect project. The perfect project is whatever pops up first that you want to use any of it in.
Thank you for the encouragement to ‘use the yarn’! I am the absolute Queen of saving the yarn for ‘just the right project’. But you are SO right!!! It would give the recipient (even if that happens to be me!) more joy to have what they want in that yarn than it does sitting on my shelf!
It took a while for me to realize that. My granddaughter got so much joy from that yarn being used for her. She always pointed it out. What was I saving it for anyway? She had the perfect project and I wasn’t listening. I’m glad I finally woke up 🥰
I totally agree with you Shannon use the yarn for whatever you want to instead of hanging on to it for the "perfect" project. My mother had over 90 totes full of yarn in her basement at the time of her death that she was probably waiting for the "perfect" item to use it on. Well after my sister and I took what little we wanted of it the rest all got sold at an estate sale for $2 or less a skein because we did not want to just dump it at Goodwill. I surely hope the ladies that bought it all are enjoyed having it and by now have turned it into items either for themselves or to give to charity and aren't letting it just sit there.
Hi Shannon! You are so right!! I might hold some yarn waiting for "the" project, but I am a sucker if my granddaughters bring me yarn from my stash and ask for something. Gigi's answer is Always YES! That is some beautiful yarn you just opened. Loving the Lilac!
These are stunning yarns. It took me a bit to get to this point. What are we saving all the “good” yarn for. If we don’t use it and enjoy it, who will.
That yarn is gorgeous! I love Arcane yarn. My next order is in the March yarn club and I can’t wait. Right now on the hooks is a Colours of Cali shawl and a From the Heavens cowl. They are a dream to work with… enjoy all that beautiful stuff!
Thank you, I have no idea if there’s a pattern for this or something in my head. With the other strips it almost looks like I was making this trial and error
In the wine community, the last Saturday in February is, “open that bottle night “. You can Google open that bottle night if you want to find out the whole story, however, people get together and open that bottle of wine that they’ve been saving, but never opened. We should do use that yarn night, actually should be use that yarn month since it takes a little while longer to use a hang of Yarn than one night.
I make soap sacks out of cotton. My pattern is make magic circle, do 12 DC in magic circle, join, chain 3, 2dc in each st around. 24 sts. Chain 3 DC around and join for desired rows. Fasten off. Chain a cord 55 sts. Weave in and out around DC to make it synch up to close and hang it up with.
@ me? I’m learning so much. I have added eleven new stitches to my knowledge. I was previously a sc and dc afghan maker. Now I’ve made shawls, hats, cardigans and afghans with new stitches

The shawl is so pretty! You did a wonderful job with it! I also purchased a Baerskin hoodie for my husband. He loves it!
Yippie ya hoooo. You got your package! Very beautiful yarns inside. The purple ones are my favorites.💜
These are luscious
Woohoo. It arrived. Can’t wait for mine. Lol. That velvet queen is awesome. I’m gonna have to look at you shall not pass. lol.
They are all getting to their destinations. It’s exciting especially with that amazing sale.
Hi Shannon, the shawl you made and the two other pieces are really pretty. WOW on the Arcane Fiber color yarns. 🧶🫂
I think the colorways are spectacular. I was thrilled with everything that was in my cart when hubby found it and “pushed the button”.
You got some very pretty yarns. Arcane has some really stunning colorways. Thank you for sharing your pretty yarns.
They’re all so lovely! Thank you

Anything for the grandkids is the perfect project. 🥰
You have such a beautiful spirit. Just use it! Yes! Your Arcane fiber treasures are yummy. Yay!

I’ve been sidetracked with all sorts of projects. I’d love to wind some of this up and start creating with it.
Shannon that shawl is absolutely gorgeous 😍! Wowzers!

I like the idea. Stop saving it, enjoy it, it’s yours 🥰
Hubby did very well buying your cart! Beautiful yarns!!
He got a good chuckle out of this one.
It's a great package! You are absolutely correct, don't let the yarn sit for months or years, use it!
It is a little too pretty to let it sit. Use the good stuff, if we don’t, who will?
Love that someone comes along and purchase your cart!! 😊boy I'd love that. I have random carts all over the web!!!!😅😅
It was a wonderful surprise to get this order I’ve been waiting for! Hubby is the biggest enabler ever.
Love the color of your wrap. ❤ Yarn is gorgeous 🤩
Thank you, it’s been fun pulling out all these treasures to show everyone
I love the shawl, so pretty!!!! It would also make a beautiful bathing suit ‘wrap’, like a skirt or cover up.
Great idea, it really would be stunning used that way. It’s fun finding old projects and sharing them.
🎉Beautiful bag of yarn. 🎉
It was all stunning. The golden yellow is a show stopper too
Oh my….. that gorgeous lilac is calling my name 😂🧶🧶🧶🤗
It is lovely, not even my normal color scheme but boy was it calling me.
@ it’s screaming place a order to me… but I’m trying to hold back. 😂😂😂
@ I held back, my hubby had other plans 😆
Those new yarns are lovely!
They really are. I was thrilled of course
I use my clover "C" hook alot also...
😱 😱 😱 I’m so jealous. I want mine now!
Imagine how I felt when I thought my order was in
That is a lovely lacy drapey wrap.
Thank you 😊
I went to Joann and Walmart and got cotton yarn. Now to find a crocheted sock and washcloth patterns 😊
I make soap sacks out of cotton. My pattern is make magic circle, do 12 DC in magic circle, join, chain 3, 2dc in each st around. 24 sts. Chain 3 DC around and join for desired rows. Fasten off.
Chain a cord 55 sts. Weave in and out around DC to make it synch up to close and hang it up with.
You are so motivational.
@ crochet? Ty for pattern
@@marilynrobertson6265 yes crochet.
@ me? I’m learning so much. I have added eleven new stitches to my knowledge. I was previously a sc and dc afghan maker. Now I’ve made shawls, hats, cardigans and afghans with new stitches
That friend would be me. 😂😂😂
🤣
Thank you! ❤
You are most welcome!
I’ll give hubby access to my arcane fiber works shopping cart and fill it if he wants to you know…😂
He got a good giggle out of this
My Arcane order is supposed to be to me on Tuesday.
That gives you just enough time to add a few more rows to your extorting stuff to not feel guilty immediately casting on.
