 Spring Week at Yarnplaza: Interview with Petra Glimmerveen  Spring Week at Yarnplaza: Interview with Petra Glimmerveen I think almost everyone feels this way, but I love it when those first warm rays of sunshine appear. I also really enjoy listening to the birds singing in the garden.

 Spring Week at Yarnplaza: Interview with Petra Glimmerveen A scarf! It can get pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings in the spring, so it’s really nice to have a scarf then. I’d love to make one in bright colors.

 Spring Week at Yarnplaza: Interview with Petra Glimmerveen I love soft, powdery shades like Light Pink and beige. But I also think green, Grey, and Blue are beautiful colors.

 Spring Week at Yarnplaza: Interview with Petra Glimmerveen Since the weather (hopefully) gets a little nicer in the spring, I like to work with yarn that isn’t too thick. I do like a little wool, though, like Lana Grossa Ecopuno—that yarn is made from 72% Cotton, 17% Merino Wool, and 11% alpaca wool. But Yarn and Colors Joy is also one of my favorites. I also enjoy working with fuzzy yarns like Yarn and Colors Elegant, because then you can decide for yourself whether to use one or more strands in your project.
