Make It Koigu Project Spotlight - July
Where Does the Name Koigu Come From?
How to Read Your Koigu Skein Label
We know that sometimes you may buy skeins of Koigu, planning a beautiful project to make, full well meaning to make it that very night, but something comes up and that skein gets hidden in your yarn stash for many moons. Months later, your crafty hands start to itch again and your Koigu finally gets pulled back out for a new idea! You then realize you need to order more of that colourway of yarn and you're not sure exactly what those letters and numbers mean on the label...
It's very simple and we're here to help!
Koigu Hack: How to Fold Triangle Scarves
It may seem simple, but everyone is familiar with those pesky garments that are an awkward shape and you just can't seem to figure out how to fold nicely.
