Knitting has always been a popular craft with customers at Calico Laine but more and more often we are being asked about items for crochet due the resurgence in the craft in the last few years. It has become particularly popular with our younger customers as there are many books aimed at their age range on the market and these have provided some inspiration on the subject. This week we have added a beautiful range of anchor crochet cottons to our Haberdashery section which are sure to be a big hit. [caption id="attachment_9022" align="alignleft" width="150"]Anchor Crochet Cottons Haberdashery crochet threads[/caption] Our new Haberdashery threads are Anchor 3 ply freccia crochet thread. Made from 100% mercerised Egyptian cotton these are a luxurious thread that are available in huge range of bright vivid colours perfect for all of your crocheting projects. These crochet cottons are produced in a number of thicknesses and each reel comes with a different ticket number on its packaging to let you know which size crochet hook you will need to use. In the range, we have solid colours, ombre shades and muticolour threads. This gives you a variety to choose from whatever your project may be. Anchor crochet cottons are a Haberdashery item that allow you to 'express your own individuality through creativity'. They are fine 3 ply threads that unlike some thicker threads allow you to create intricate and delicate crochet projects. Anchor crochet cottons can be used to create delicate lace designs which can be used for making clothing items such as cardigans and tops. As well as this you can create home accessories such as table coverings or if you are feeling adventurous maybe a large throw. More unusual items that can be made are peter pan collars for ladies t-shirts and tops and they can even be used to make jewellery. The thread can be crocheted onto chain to create necklaces or can be crocheted on its own and attached to jewellery findings to create earrings and bracelets.
