They are all one big, happy family.

Thanks Shandeh! I have heard and worked with all except Phentex. :knit:

I have never heard of Phentex; it is not available in stores that I haunt. :idonno:

I will check it out online! :reading:

I made it with scrape yarn from other projects I made for them. The pattern I found on Ravelry. It originally came from Paton's website. (I wonder if it is related to Bernat because the website is exactly like Bernat's.) I improvised with the yarn I had on hand. The hat is made with Bernat Baby Jacquards. It is just a basic stocking cap made smaller.

The cap is precious, Buckeyemom. I love how Bernat Baby Jaquards worked up! :thumbsup:

I've come across several Phentex yarns at Big Lots or other bargain stores. But, my favorite is Phentex slipper yarn, which has antibacterial properties. I order that yarn from Canada, to make long-lasting slippers for my family.

Thanks for the tip, Shandeh! :idea:

I will do a little hunting around! I LOVE the idea of antimicrobial yarn, since I am a Germophobe! :mrgreen:

My bosom friend!

I'm a bit like "Monk". Carry hand sanitizing wipes with me everywhere. :lol:

Here's a link to buy Phentex Slipper Yarn in the Bernat Shop.
By the way, each skein has a free pattern on it.

This stuff is like INDESTRUCTABLE. And it feels cushy on the feet. It's a little rough on the hands, though, so take it nice and slow when making them.

I bet it would make great House Socks! Thanks again for pointers! :knit:

I made a baby cardigan with the great Lily Sugar 'n Cream. I got the yarn from a friend who sells it in her webshop, and I totally love it!!! The colours, the structure of the yarn, it works up very nicely, I am totally happy with it.
