New Cuteness from Rico in 3 … 2 … 1 …

It’s delivery day from Rico! There is really no end to the delightful things our friends at this purveyor of all things craft can dream up. This week we’re welcoming three new kits, two new yarns, and one fabulous book!

Rico Fashion Cotton Merino Lace shows off lovely gradients of gorgeous pastel colours

We’re falling for two new yarn bases from Rico! Fashion Cotton Merino Lace and Make it Blümchen are the latest additions to our Rico range and they’re absolutely wonderful. Fashion Cotton Merino Lace is a totally deluxe blend of natural fibres. It’s lovely whether you’re holding it double with other yarns or using it on its own for fine knitting. People are already using it for patterns like PetiteKnit’s Cumulus Blouse that call for a light and airy yet soft and drapey yarn.

Rico’s Blümchen adds fun flair to any project!

And you can add a little sparkle and charm to any knit with Make it Blümchen. This thin thread dotted with flower-shaped sequins is totally darling. Obviously the first use we have in mind is holding it with another yarn to jazz up a knit or crochet project, but it would also be sweet to use as ribbon in gift wrapping, and we’d love to get creative with it on the Pokeori Loom as well!

A perfect pair! Fashion Cotton Merino Lace and Make it Blümchen were destined to be held together.

Conveniently, Fashion Cotton Merino Lace and Make it Blümchen come in the same colours, and as both yarns work great when paired up with others, they are a match made in heaven! And there’s never been a better time for these springtime pastels to land. Think of all the lovely vernal accessories you could make! Scarflettes, lace cardigans or shawls, maybe even an Easter bonnet! Fresh springtime knits, here we come!

Also arriving from Rico this week is a trio of kits for three sweet dolls in the Blooming Beauties collection. Pansy, Daffodil, and Snowdrop are sweet reminders of spring, and the perfect crochet project to see you through the last bits of winter! Each kit comes with all the Ricorumi Cotton DK yarn you’ll need, plus a crochet hook and a darning needle. The instructions for creating the dolls are included as well. All you need to add is the Toy Filling! Add these cheerful characters to a shelf or windowsill in your home or make them for your friends as a constant reminder of the joys of spring.

Make all eight Blooming Beauties dolls!

And finally, our brand new book from Rico, Blooming Beauties, arrived this week — but it’s already sold out! Don’t worry — we have more copies on the way, and this one is a real treat. The book includes patterns for the Pansy, Daffodil, and Snowdrop Blooming Beauties we have kits for, plus five more floral themed crocheted dolls. Make one of each and you’ll have a whole posse! Click “notify me when available” and we’ll let you know as soon as this book arrives again!
