Natural Yarns, Cape Town Videos

Exciting news! @projectarian’s “Crocheting Reversible Amigurumi Projects” is being launched at the @capetownyarnfest on 23 + 24 March through @naturalyarns! The books will retail at R485. We will do our best to have some natural fibre sample swatch options for these amazing patterns available so that you’ll have some ideas of which yarns that we stock will work to make these animals and creatures! Jessie’s pattern stall will be right next to ours so that she can easily sign your copy of her book. If you haven’t booked for the *PROJECTARIAN WORKSHOP* at the yarn festival yet, be sure to do so! In addition to a bunch of fantastic extras that Jessie has kindly added to the course, she will be teaching some great amigurumi techniques… the cute Pufferfish Purse she’s designed for the yarn festival is coveted by her vast social media following, many of whom live abroad so can’t get to CTYF and are dying to get hold of this pattern! Don’t miss out! We are looking forward to seeing those who can make it to the yarn, which is so soon now!
