I did a post a few weeks back about mill ends yarns. It’s made by plying together random mill ends of yarns and they make these wacky color combinations. They are not always easy to come by on line or in your local yarn shop. We have a new Hobby Lobby store that just opened in my neighborhood! Weeeee!

I set off to see if I could find anything resembling mill end yarn during their grand opening. What I found was Yarn Bee Dazzling, by Hobby Lobby. Two ply yarn with a metallic thread added for subtle sparkle.

I picked a lovely skein called Pastels fully expecting a rather babyish color way. I was most pleasantly surprised to find that that was not the case.

The yarn is super soft, 3.5 oz 256 yards and the label reads (4) medium worsted weight. It’s more like a DK (3) weight to me.
Beautiful shades of soft blue, white, grey and turquoise.

I did a rolled hem edging on the cast on as well as the bind off on the Tropics cowl. With the tail I did a simple whip stitch around the rolled edge and gave it a little tug to cinch it up. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s actually really pretty.

I used Stacy Trocks free pattern on her Fresh Stitches site. You can also purchase some mill end yarn from her while you’re there.
