Crafter’s Coloring Companion

Introducing Crafter’s Coloring Pages, a brand new way to start yarn playing in 2015. Take out your crayons. Treat yourself to a set of brush pens or markers. Coloring pages can be a useful addition to your crafting.

Here are some ideas for using these pages:

• Scrapbook your finished page as a personalize record of gifts you’ve given or projects you’ve made.
• Invite a child into your crafting world. Give them their own scarf to color.
• Create a handmade #scarfie. Cut and paste a photo of the recipient into the blank face on the coloring page.  Share on social media.
• Let your coloring pages help you plan your project. Use them to sketch out your ideas for colors or patterns.
• Before you give a scarf as a gift, offer the recipient some colors to work with and get their design input. They can even add extras, like fringe, by drawing them on.
• Relaxation! Coloring is a great way to unwind after a hectic day.

Getting started is easy. Just download the image, print and color.
