Bulky Yarn Spotlight: Gigante

This week's bulky yarn in the spotlight is Gigante by Lana Grossa.

Gigante is a bulky yarn comprised of 70% Fine Alpaca and 30% Polyamid. It is textured, fluffy and thick but weighs nothing with strong, clear and vibrant colors and self striping. Two skeins for a huge scarf, three skeins for a hoodie sweater. These patterns are free with yarn purchase!

Luxury Worsted Weight Cotton: Sami XL

Sticking with my trend of knitting summer tees, I just finished this gorgeous (and simple) Seven Sisters Top using Sami XL by Amano Yarns.

Sami XL is the Worsted Weight sibling to its DK Weight predecessor Sami. Crafted from beautiful organic Peruvian Pima cotton, this luxurious yarn not only caresses your skin with a silky softness but also brings joy to every stitch! The perfect choice for warm-weather and child-friendly projects, it ensures quicker knitting and a more enjoyable knitting experience. Embrace the goodness of Sami XL and let your creativity soar as you knit with pleasure!
