The Crochet Express National Crochet Month Blog Tour

Crochetville_Blog_Tour_728x90

Welcome to Crochetville’s fourth annual National Crochet Month (NatCroMo) blog tour, taking place each day of March 2016. Join us as we take a virtual tour on our passenger steam train, The Crochet Express, visiting crochet designers, crochet-friendly local yarn stores, and yarn companies, and offer some fun giveaways.

Want to Chat about the Tour?

Part of the fun of taking a passenger steam train trip is talking with your fellow passengers. This year, we’re providing two locations where our passengers can get to know each other. We’d love to hear about your favorite things you’ve discovered on the tour and see photos of your current crochet projects. You’re invited to join us daily for virtual cocktails/appetizers and dinner. (We’ll be sharing links to some fabulous recipes!)

Universal Yarn

Crochetville is very proud to have Universal Yarn with us today as one of the featured yarn companies on our 2016 Designer Blog Tour in honor of National Crochet Month (NatCroMo).

About Universal Yarn:

by Heather Hill

Universal Yarn began in 2005 as a husband and wife team with a dream. We had several things going for us – a personal relationship with our mill in Turkey, a love of needlecrafting, and a lot of determination. Since those days we’ve grown to a thriving company, but we still have those three things. Our partnership with our mill means that we can provide excellent quality at a reasonable price because there’s no middleman. Everyone here is a needlecrafter – it’s hard not to be when you’re surrounded by such beautiful yarn. And we remain determined to keep learning and growing along with the industry.

We feature a variety of crochet-friendly yarns, including our anti-pilling acrylic Uptown line, the self-shading Classic Shades family, best-seller Bamboo Pop, and butter-soft Cotton Supreme. Our new 100% raffia Yashi and Yashi Iro have quickly become crochet designer favorites for summer projects. The Fibra Natura family of yarns features beautiful natural fibers like Flax and Good Earth, featured in our Contrarian Shawls e-books. Our Nazli Gelin Garden line of cotton threads are staples in many a crocheter’s stash, with several pattern books of beautiful crochet designs.

Online, we share weekly free patterns, tutorials, and inspirational posts at blog.universalyarn.com. We love being part of such a vibrant and creative community and seeing what you make with our yarns. Tag us when you share a project online, or drop us a mail. We always want to hear what you have to say!
