Hi everyone,

my absolute favorite colors are burgundy and gray.
Then all the berry shades.

I prefer to work with Lisa Premium by Gründl and
Catania by Schachenmayr.

Best regards, Heike

Hello :-)

I like working with gradient cakes. For things for myself personally, I like dark colors best; for others, of course, I also use all other colors.

When it comes to figures, I prefer working with Happy Anti-Pilling by Gründl, or alternatively Joy by Rellana. 

Best regards

Well, I like it bright and bold. Yellow, orange, red. Not that I could actually wear those colors, but that’s a whole other topic.
When it comes to materials, I’m not picky—I use whatever I can get my hands on. What’s important to me is that it feels good. And I prefer thinner yarns to thicker ones.

I like all shades of aqua, from teal to mint. But the colors of autumn leaves in all their variations also suit me well.
I mainly make small amigurumi, and for that I prefer Catania; or if I want something fluffy, I go with Phil Douce by Phildar.
I don’t really like crocheting with yarn cakes because I don’t like the knots. I’d rather use sock yarn or hand-dyed yarn—they also come in beautiful color gradients.

For knitting and crocheting—cotton or hemp.
For crafts—paper, especially cardstock.
As for colors, it depends: for clothes, I tend to go for shades of blue and black; for crafts, I like green, yellow, orange, and red.

Of course, I love gradient yarns, both with and without glitter thread.
Other than that, I like ribbon yarns, especially those with a viscose blend.

I like all colors—as an artist, I can hardly say otherwise.
My favorite color, however, remains purple in all its shades.

I love red in all kinds of shades.
My favorite material is a cotton-acrylic blend (50/50), like the kind used for Bobbel.

Ever since I discovered Bobbel, I’ve been working almost exclusively with gradient yarns.

I love RED! As far as I’m concerned, the whole world could be red.

As for material, I currently prefer Bobbel yarn cakes. The shawls, etc. turn out sooo beautifully soft :)

I most enjoy crocheting with cotton crochet yarn, Catania, thin Diana crochet yarn, and this Järbo yarn here. Lately also these gradient cakes.

Favorite colors: this bright neon yarn, pastel shades, pink, rainbow colors, soft lilac, white...

For amigurumi, mostly light, cheerful colors (pink, orange, red, green, sunny yellow, and these in-between colors, e.g. light blue, light lilac, light green, etc.

I love gradient yarns, especially in berry shades or a beautiful blue! I enjoy knitting with sock yarn, and I also like the newly discovered Bobbels. For crocheting, I reach for Catania, Tissa (for potholders), or finer cotton yarns.
