Danielle’s Obsessions: Nupps, Loops & Floops Edition

Danielle’s Obsessions: Nupps, Loops & Floops Edition

Need some crafting inspo? Welcome to another edition of Danielle’s Obsessions, where I share what’s hot right now in my queue (and on my shopping list!).

My current obsessions still fall squarely in winter makes. I am not ready for the cottons yet…

Sea Change Fibers Bloom Tweed Worsted

Since I am currently finishing a WIP in Miss Babs Neon Tweed, I am really looking forward to playing with something in a little bigger gauge, but with the same fun flecks of color (aka “nupps”) – so Sea Change Fibers Bloom Tweed Worsted it is!

I’m thinking that the Hello Vest pattern might be a great way to play with this yarn without taking on sleeves again – all of my current WIPs are still “in progress” because it seems that I cannot complete sleeves.

Having just finished my first Degen sweater design, I am excited to get to the next one in my queue! I am trying to decide between Laxtons Wooltrace DK (shown below) or Ériu Elements, as I am itching to work with both of these newer arrivals to the shop – both are awesome, sustainable, fully traceable yarns!

Floops Flox & Firls

Last but not least, the new Floops multi-tools with metal tips! OBSESSED.

The Firls now come in a little plastic coin purse that is adorable, and I need these all over my house. They would solve so many quick needs: stitch marker, cable needle, stitch holder. And each is 2.75 inches long, so in a pinch, they can serve as a mini measuring device!
