Shopping for Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn

Hi friends! It’s Saturday again. My yarn shopping day at Michael’s! I needed some knit headbands and light scarves. I remembered Lily Sugar ‘n Cream doesn’t look like yarn, it’s pretty flat, and feels very light. I gave myself $5 to spend on yarn at the Michael’s store in Granada Hills, CA. I bought 5 of them! Each for just $1.49.

Tomorrow I’ll start knitting a headband and thin scarf with each of these colors. Will post the pictures here.

How do I buy the colors? I let the yarn talk to me (am I the only one?)

Here’s what I thought when I saw the yarns:

 

Lily Sugar ‘N Cream color: “Red”  This is so bright. It looks like the henna in the Bollywood movies. A lacy pattern or leaf pattern on a thin scarf.  Interesting over a white blouse.

Lily Sugar ‘N Cream color: “Faded Denim”    Matches with any blue jeans. Nice for a headband.  A lacy pattern would really bring out the shades of blue.

Lily Sugar ‘N Cream color: “Country”    A summery color. Like the sling chair you see at the beach. Self striping? Wow. Bye Bye Multicolor yarn! Hello Sugar ‘N Cream stripes. Would make a cool diagonally striped thin scarf.

Lily Sugar ‘N Cream color: “Natural Ombre” Nice for a light belt to make you look thinner. Matches with any beige pants and white top.

Last but not least, I grab a $1 ribbon:

Blue flowers. Would look cool weaved in dark blue yarn for a unique headband. I have lots of dark blue yarn. Why not a simple eyelet scarf and just slip it in?

By the way, Lionbrand’s Incredible Yarn would look like a shiny headband or scarf. There wasn’t any at the store! I asked the sales clerk and she said that they’re not sure if they’ll bring more or was probably discontinued.  I drove 20 minutes to the Michael’s in Tarzana, and no Incredible yarn either! Same answer from their sales clerk.  What happened?

That’s all I bought. Let me know what color Lily Sugar ‘n Cream yarn you’ve used down in the comment box.

Take Care!
