A Few Of My Favorite Things–Marina, Flora, and Tundra Glitz

We’re having an obscenely warm winter here in Wisconsin, so we haven’t needed to break out the heavy-duty coats, scarves, and hats every day like we usually do.  In fact, this has been the perfect year to wear purely decorative scarves.  And the Knitting Nest has just the yarn to make them!

Marina and Flora are two specialty yarns made by Universal Yarns that make it easy for even the most novice knitter to create fancy scarves to brighten up any outfit.  Marina is a ribbon yarn with large holes that makes a ruffle effect when knitted or crocheted.

Flora has smaller holes that require less precision when knitting and give a more lily-type look to the scarf.

Tundra Glitz is a sparkly ribbon yarn with holes along the top for ease in knitting and crochet.  It forms a more dense material with lots of shine.

Any of these yarns will make great scarves.  And you can use your imagination to make all kinds of other items as well – the sky is the limit!  Come check them out!
