Handmade Holiday Gifting: Light as Air

Handmade Holiday Gifting: Light as Air

handmade holiday gifting with fs

In our second edition of our Handmade Holiday Gifting Guide, we’re featuring another yarn new to space. Noro Kureyon Air is exactly what one wants in a gift yarn — It’s fluffy and colorful with Noro’s classic multi-colored vibrancy, and best yet — it’s bulky! That’s right, everyone’s favorite type of gift knitting: big and quick. We have two project suggestions for our gift knitters this week, and in the spirit of last minute quick gifts they only call for 1-2 skeins of yarn each ($18)!

Fernando Scarf

This unique wrap by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton uses two skeins of Kureyon Air but still works up super fast. Pair it with a unique shawl pin for the perfect gift.

#Warm Cowl

The second project can actually be spotted in space as a shop sample (knit by our very own Sarah M.). It’s the #Warm cowl by Victoria Myers. Kureyon Air’s light, fluffy texture is perfect for this cowl as it will keep the wearer toasty this winter without weighing them down.
