New One Of A Kind Handspun Newborn Beanies

I've been working a lot with handspun yarn lately. I'm practicing a lot with a drop spindle I bought from Fiber Me Up. Yes, I am addicted! While I'm still learning how to get the right thick and thin yarn that I like, I've been supporting fellow Etsians and purchasing their yarns :) I wish I had known about these types of thick and thin photo props when my daughter Hailey Jean was born 10 months ago... they are really cute on newborns!

Clicking the links on the photos will take you to it's listing in my shop if you would like to purchase!


Crochet Newborn Baby Girl Handspun Thick and Thin Beanie - Petunia Garden
The yarn is a beautiful blend of purple and green merino wool. This colorway reminds me of a beautiful garden of purple petunia flowers. This was a ooak (one of a kind) yarn purchased from Spinning Wheel Studio.



Crochet Newborn Handspun Thick and Thin Beanie - Victorian
The yarn is a merino/bamboo blend. It's very yummy soft! The yarn was purchased from the amazing SpinUpGirlFibers. It has a beautiful shine!



Crochet Newborn Gnome or Pixie Style Handspun Thick and Thin Beanie - Safari
The yarn is a beautiful blend of yellow and brown with a natural cream color trim. The colors also remind me of fallen autumn leaves or the colors of a lion's mane! This beautiful yarn is from Heart Strings By Dee.

New Yarn, New Items, New ADDICTION!

I recently discovered a new type of yarn-handspun thick n thin merino wool. It has thick puffs and thin twists which makes a very cool stitch pattern. This yarn is typically one-of-a-kind (or OOAK). I purchase this yarn from fellow etsy sellers because us Etsians are awesome!



This is the first crochet beanie/photo prop I made, and my first time ever using the yarn. I love the texture. I love the softness of the wool. Yes, I'm addicted. I since then bought two more skeins and made these:

These hats make the perfect addition to a photographers prop stash! They are chunky in style, which makes a newborn baby look so cute and even more tiny!

I really love these hats... Makes me wish I was a photographer.

Since this is a serious new ADDICTION, you will be seeing more of these in more amazing colors!

I have new designs in the works! There will be some hats, cocoons, newborn photography wraps and blankets. I'm also working on creating a line of crochet jewelry. I've recently become obsessed with crocheting with crochet thread and wire so I thought I would come up with some designs and share them with you all :)
