About Yarn
Everyone has a passion, a dream.
Let's take a closer look at yarn.
Yarn has a past and future.
All of my kids are made with love, they make great companions for kids and adults alike, and some are even collectable. As an artist, something I find interesting is color psychology, so I will share a bit on this topic. No matter the color of you Lil Luvvies, you can be sure to have a great friend to pass down through generations. Let’s touch on color psychology now.

- The thickness or weight of yarn is measured in terms of “ply.” Single-ply yarn has only one strand, while two-ply yarn has two strands twisted together.
