It’s starting to get a little nip in the air, so there’s no better way to keep Jack Frost at bay than a cozy chenille scarf! We’re walking you through the process of how to make one and have a couple of deals to entice you to start your own.
We are also adding some of our favorite homespun fabrics (they make the BEST scarves, in our opinion!) so you can select some to make Christmas presents. Start now… it’s coming sooner than you think.
Happy Week!
Marty & Teri
