Recently I was designing the Rustic Granny Sunflower Square crochet pattern and tested the pattern with different yarns to see which yarn I liked best for this project. The three yarns I used were Lily Sugar ‘n Cream, Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton and Tahki Yarns Classic Cotton. Lily Sugar ‘n Cream is available in almost every craft store, various online sites and at Yarnspirations.
