Skeinettes



While I was recently visiting the yarn shop Loop, during my recent visit to Philadelphia, I picked up these adorable tiny skeins of Koigu fingering weight yarn called "skeinettes".

The owner of the shop, Craig, assured me that they are the perfect amount of yardage for a single hexipuff.


And so they were. :)


I am slowly but surely adding to my beloved Beekeepers Quilt. I am so happy to have these "skeinettes" from Philadelphia included in the mix. I so enjoyed my time on the east coast and I know that whenever I see these little puffs in my finished blanket, I will remember that trip.



Into the bag they go with the rest of their friends! :)

  7. What cute hexipuffs! I started my beekeeper's quilt at the beginning of the month and am absolutely addicted! They are so fun to make and are perfect for mini skeins and skeinettes!
