Yarn is a many-splendored thing! With so many choices of fibre and stitch, the possibilities are endless. A yarn stash is often a crocheter's pride and joy – a place to keep special skeins that are our favourite colours, sumptuous fibres or perhaps a memento of a trip away or to a yarn show.
So, in this issue, we delve into the yarn stash to create something luxurious this might be something to wear during the party season, a precious gift to make and exchange, or simply allowing oneself the luxury of time to create something you really love. Helda Panagary's Urban Landscape shawl embodies all three, as does Carmen Heffernan's shimmering Topaz and Tourmaline wrap, but we also love how Cassie Ward's metallic Midas shrug adds glamour, and how Sue Maton's Moonstone top has a gentle sheen that suggests expense. Of course, one doesn't have to use your most expensive ball of yarn instead, allow yourself the luxury of a little time to sit back and indulge with your favourite crochet magazine for a touch of glamour.
