I used two of these gorgeous hanks of Furls DK Whims Merino. This yarn is AMAZING to work with. It glides so easily, especially with my Furls Streamline Swirl hook. The yarn itself is so soft and silky. I am seriously in love. I am so happy that I have the opportunity to share my pattern with you using this beautiful yarn and so happy that I get to share my love for Furls products. I have been using Furls hooks as my primary hooks for many years and nothing else compares. I can crochet longer without fatigue and it doesn’t hurt my hands. I can honestly say that once I started using my Furls hooks, I never looked back. They are my tried and true hooks and this yarn is the perfect match.
