If you're into bold, funky and fashion-forward jewelry, this is the perfect yarn for you.  Together, Lion Brand Yarn and Martha Stewart Crafts have created a unique, one-of-a-kind product that I think all knitters and crocheters will get a kick out of.  Whether you decide to make your own jewelry or use this yarn as stylish accents to home decor projects, you'll love how easy it is to work with.  Lion Brand also provides several free patterns especially made for this yarn line if you need inspiration.  The Two Stitch Knit Necklace took me only 30 minutes to make and it only used one skein of yarn! 

I think what I enjoy most about this unconventional yarn is that it forces you to get creative with your knitting and crocheting.  Think of all the possibilities this 3-dimensional yarn provides!  Use it as the base of a headband, outline a knit pillow with funky trimming or add intriguing detailing to the cuffs of sweaters and shrugs.  Grab a few skeins of Mambo yarn in Cardinal and knit yourself a bright red bathroom throw - there are many possibilities once you open your mind to it.   Grab a skein today and play around with it; you're bound to get ideas once you start playing around with it!
