Bernat Tizzy

[CrochettingMama]

I was shopping at Michaels the other day and came across this funky yarn. I thought I would buy a couple skeins to try. It's interesting to work with. You will either like it or hate it, similar to Lion brand Homespun. (which I love)

Yarn Characteristics:

• Any stretch? very little
  
• Does it produce fuzz/lint? very little
  
• Does it pill?
  
• How does it wear?
  
• How does it reflect light?
  
• How does it look crocheted? It's different. No holes at all but it's really neat looking, sort of furry but not really. It's weird yarn
  
• Are any other yarns similar or identical? none that I have ever seen.
  

Project Specifics:

• What did you make with the yarn? I am making a preemie blanket
  
  
• What hook size did you use? Wood crochet hook that I made so probably about an N
  
• Are simple stitches best? How do complex stitches look? I've used a single, half double and double. It's hard to find where to put the hook in at first, but once you become accustomed to the yarn, it's easier.
  
• Describe drape of finished project
  
• What other types of projects would this yarn work well for?
  
• Is there any project this yarn would not be suited for?
  

This yarn is kind of fun to work with. It's shaggy and I think the blanket will be interesting looking. You have to use a bigger hook, anything smaller than a "N" hook would not work well.
