WOW! REALLY NICE SET!Thanks for posting! I wonder if you've had any problems with color bleeding with this yarn group, as I did get a lot of red bleeding with the red, white and blue yarn last year,even with soaking in vinegar water! Just be careful :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this!! I love it! I plan to make it with two strands together of Cotton Eco Hart in red and natural for my mom and my mother-in-law for christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!!
