Getting Creative with Keppi

January 6, 2014 by Sarah White

keppi yarn lion brandHave you seen Lion Brand Yarn’s latest creation, Keppi? I haven’t gotten a look at it in person yet, but it looks like a lot of fun.

This yarn is like a whole bunch of yarns of different textures and coordinating colors all collected in one ball, which makes designing an interesting project really easy. What’s more, the ball is topped off with a pompom, which you can use to decorate the top of a hat (there’s enough yarn in a package to fit a baby up to adult size small).

And if you need a bit of inspiration on how to make a hat with this funky yarn, there are already some great looking patterns available on the website.

I’m really intrigued by this funky novelty yarn. You don’t have to know any fancy stitches to make a project look really fun, and it would be great for kids learning to knit who want to have a funky, personalized accessory without a lot of work.

What do you think of this yarn? I’d love to hear your thoughts, and I’ll let you know if I get to try it out!

    Keppi means hat in Hebrew.

    I am dying to find this yarn in our yarn store, I have granddaughters who would love these hats made up for them

Have you read?

Embellish Your Knit Dishcloth with Flowers

One great thing to knit when the weather is warm (or honestly any other time) is dishcloths and washcloths. They are fun and easy projects and a great way to play with new skills. Pretty washcloths make cleaning a tiny bit more fun, and they’re great to have on hand as a quick addition to a store-bought gift. 

The Daisy Delight Dishcloth from Yarnspirations is a fun one for using leftover bits of green in your cotton yarn stash. What looks like the bottom in the picture is actually the left side as you knit it, and each little color section is worked with its own ball of yarn, intarsia style. 

That’s a little fiddly for a washcloth, but the effect is cute, and it’s a simple way to learn the basics of intarsia knitting (as well as reading a chart) if you don’t already have those skills. 

One the knitting is done, you add the flowers with a bit of lazy daisy embroidery, which is really easy to do even if you’re not that into embroidery. You could also potentially add flowers in duplicate stitch if you’d rather. 

This may be the most work you’ve put into a dishcloth, but isn’t it adorable? It would be fun to use as a hand towel through the spring and summer, and if you already have some leftover green yarn from other projects it should be pretty easy to do. 

You could also take this same concept and make it different colors. All dark green stems with stars on top might be reminiscent of Christmas trees, or brown with daisy stitch on top in different colors could be trees in the fall. 

However you stitch it, this looks like a fun little project for knitters who are comfortable with intarsia and reading charts or who are ready to try those skills. 

You can grab the free pattern from Yarnspirations.
