The shimmer is fantastic.
The shimmer yarns work up into pure beauty. The blue variegated when combined with the white tunes until a wonderful winter wonderland! The red and green blend and the poinsettia colors blend are fantastic as well. The white shimmer ties everything together in complete beauty.
I can’t wait to finish and gift all the Christmas throws made that I’m working on. My home has evolved into Christmas central.
