Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

I saw this in a lys yesterday. Pompon by Rico Design. The little pompoms are 2 stitches apart and make a lovely soft textured scarf for £8.95. I succumbed because the Berry colour is the exact same shade as my Winter coat this season.........And snow is on the way............

Has anyone else seen this or heard of it?

YES!!!!

I love the look of this, they had it in my LYS and there are nice shades like pale grey and a turqouise.

There was a scarf knitted up and it felt so soft, I wonder if it is hard to knit with?

My LYS had most of the colours and scarves knitted in several colours. They said you knit 12 stitches to get the scarf and one ball does it all. That was a long narrow scarf, I was thinking of doing a wider shorter one..........but it was £8.95.

I saw it in town before Christmas, I was all set to buy the burgundy but DD put me off saying I had to wait until after Christmas (she bought me a scarf) and I'd forgotton all about it until now.

One of my LYS's has it. It reminds me of marshmallows Very Happy

While I personally don't like it (not a fan of novelty yarns) it strikes me as the best novelty yarn that I've ever seen. Lovely and soft too.
