Recently I received 2 skeins of Premier Yarns Sweet Roll in Cream Pop!!  This is a very soft worsted weight yarn that is self striping in 3 colors, and has 245 yards in each roll….  When I opened the box, I envisioned a sweet little baby blanket that would be perfect in these colors!! I love how it turned out… The weight of the blanket in this yarn is just perfect and I love how the colors worked with  my design!! As you all know, I am a huge fan of self striping yarn… No ends to weave in when the color changes!!!!  I can’t wait to try Sweet Roll yarn in some other color ways for more projects!!
