New Products!

Just a reminder: all handmade items in this blog are available for sale. Just email me or go to my store at Angel's Realm

A Neckwarmer/earwarmer/headband made from Lion Brand Homespun Yarn. Fiesta was my color of choice.
I'm not one to wear hats in the Winter. I tend to overheat pretty easily, *and it messes up my hair. ;)* so I came up with this. Its perfectly sized to either keep your neck warm and cozy on those really cold days and when a scarf is just too bulky. I love wearing this style as a headband/earwarmer as well. Stylish, fashionable, soft and warm. I can wear my hair up in a bun, or down like you see in the pictures.

This scarf was made with Lion Brand Homepun Yarn in Lagoon. It was knitted in a basketweave pattern so that it would lay flat, and be easier to wrap around one's neck. The second picture shows off the way the colors flow better. Its warm, but breathable so that on cold days you can wrap up your face to preven chills but not have trouble breathing. Its also long enough that you can wrap it around your neck and be able to tuck the ends into your jacket, coat or sweater.

A couple of items...

First the hat, and a close up of it, that is posted over on the angelsrealm.etsy.com site.


Its made with Lions Brand, Homespun, Windsor colored, yarn. Soft, warm, hat for anyone to wear. I can also make a scarf (in any length) in the same pattern.

Next a slightly heavier yarn:

This hat and fingerless gloves are made out of Lion Bran Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Grey Marble yarn. The gloves are a tight fit (but can strech) and are ment to cover further up the arm than most, and also cover your fingers so that your pinkie fingers are kept nice and toasty. (I will update later on putting the exact measurements here)

Now for one of my favorite items. "There's nothing like a warm fuzzy to help keep you warm in the Winter" is one of my favorite sayings. This is what I came up with.

A neckwarmer/cowl and matching fingerless gloves. I have tested this product in zero degree weather while waiting with my daughter for the bus in the morning. I had my head/neck and my nose covered and didn't get cold at all! So this exact one is one I'm keeping. However the idea, with any of the colors that I can get in Lion Bran Homespun yarn, is what I'm selling, along with matching gloves with the same yarn that is chosen.

This has been made out of Lion Brand Homespun Ocean colored yarn (acrylic and polyester) . The picture didn't come out funky. The colors really do look like that. I just love how the pattern developed. Its shades of blue and white that roll together. Its edged with Homepun Windsor yarn. The gloves are also made out of Ocean trimmed with Windsor, so that's why they aren't identical in pattern.


The neckwarmer/cowl measures 14" long and has a circumference of 21".

That's it for now. I have finished that hat that I was working on in that rainbow pattern and am working on the matching scarf.
Again everything that you see in this post is for sale. Just drop me an email and we'll talk. :)
