Millennial Collection Samples!
For the Millennial Collection, I wanted to be SURE you could see what a wide range of projects these colors and new bases would work for. There's nothing worse as a fiber artist than falling in love with a specific yarn, but having NO CLUE what to do with it.
I don't want this to become one of those recipe blogs where you have to read (or just scroll) through someone's life story before you get to the good stuff. So... ON TO THE SAMPLES!
