"Imagine my delight when a box of Red Heart Boutique Swanky arrived on my doorstep!!! I had to play with the yarn right away!!! It was over the long President's Day weekend that I crocheted a hat with this beautiful shiny, sequin laced yarn. It drapes really well, it's easy to work with and it sparkles like you can only imagine. Photos do not do this yarn justice. You have to see it in person! I wanted to share the yarn with my friends. Here the Burbank Fiber Friends, led by Kristie Mach play with Red Heart Boutique Swanky. My friends were thrilled by the pretty colors and I gifted each of them with a skein of this new yarn. One of the things that's so special about this yarn is it's already pre-strung with the sequins. All you need to do when you get this yarn home is either start knitting or crocheting with it. We all think this yarn is a hit!!!
