Queued Up: The Color Made Easy® Edition

This week on the website Color Made Easy® is one of the featured CYC #5 Bulky yarns. With that in mind it seemed appropriate to dedicate this edition of Queued Up to my new favorite bulky yarn.

I’m a self proclaimed “wool girl,” yet I’m loving this 100% acrylic yarn. Why? It’s easy. The bulky weight works up fast, it has great stitch definition, the 22-color palette is varied enough that I can find plenty of color pairing, and most of all this yarn is very wearable. Since it is 100% acrylic it is fully machine wash and dry. This means I can work up sweaters and blankets and anything I’d like with the peace of mind knowing that I can simply toss my finished items in the washer.

The Haven Cardi

The Haven Cardigan was designed by Make & Do Crew. To me it looks like a wearable hug. Basically a completely cute way for me to go out and still be comfortable. That scores major points in my book.

Take winter refuge in this cozy, oversized crochet sweater. While the bobble stitches create beautiful texture and depth, the construction of this complex-looking cardigan couldn’t be easier. You’ll make a large rectangle, seam it in two places and build the sweater using simple stitches from there. The result is flattering to a variety of body-types and will be a style statement you’re proud to claim as handmade. – Jess Coppom

The Downtown Cardi

All About Ami designed this open front cardigan using Color Made Easy in “Millennial.” The garter stitch adds extra squishability to this yarn. And how can you go wrong with a garment that’s so classic?

Knit this gorgeous chunky cardigan using bulky yarn and the relaxing garter stitch! The Downtown Cardigan is very stylish and on trend with its long baggy sleeves, bold ribbing, and well-defined stitches. This stunning statement cardigan works up very quickly and is perfect for beginners! – Stephanie Lau

Wrap It Up

The Fireside Wrap

Inspired by vintage ski sweaters, this triangle wrap is basically a wearable blanket. Drape it over your shoulders as you sit in front of the fire after a snowball fight, or wrap it with the point in front to don over a coat if you’re trekking outside. – Alexandra Tavel

The Hearthstone Wrap

The Hearthstone Wrap is the perfect companion as you warm up by the fire after a day on the slopes or as an extra layer while exploring the village. Inspired by vintage ski sweaters, this triangle wrap can be worn draped over the shoulders or with the point in front to keep you cozy all winter long. – Alexandra Tavel

The Fireside and Hearthstone wraps were both designed by Two of Wands. As usual, Alexandra pulls together elements that make her pieces stylish while remaining completely achievable to make.
