A Little Love Note to Lion Brand Cotton

Dear Kreative community,

Spring has been arriving in little whispers around my studio. A bit more light in the mornings. A softening of color on my yarn shelf. The quiet tug to reach for something

bright and hopeful. Lately, my hands have been drawn again and again to Lion Brand’s 24/7 Cotton® Yarn, especially in the Pink Lemonade shade. It feels like holding a tiny sunrise.

I wanted a project that felt like spring in my palms, something tender and cheerful. So I gathered two skeins, a familiar hook, and a quiet afternoon, and let myself follow the thread. What bloomed was a rose clasp purse, small enough to tuck into your hand, sweet enough to feel like a keepsake. A little blossom made of cotton and patience.

Lion Brand has been a steady companion in my maker life. Their yarns are soft without being fragile, sturdy without losing their charm. My shelves hold more of their cottons than I will ever admit, each skein waiting for its moment to become something warm and lovely. Pink Lemonade and Rose have become my favorite shades for floral pieces, like tiny bouquets waiting to be stitched.

For purses, 24/7 Cotton® is my quiet secret. It holds its shape with grace, and the stitch definition is crisp enough to make every petal feel intentional. When I paired it with a kiss clasp, the yarn seemed to know exactly what it wanted to become. The purse felt like a bloom unfolding.

The pattern I followed, Adnan’s Easy To Make Crochet Mini Rose Bag Tutorial, was gentle and clear. The magic circle settled into place with ease, and the petals layered themselves like soft spring mornings. Before long, the purse was finished, and I found myself dreaming of more. Perhaps one in Rose. Perhaps one in Lemon. Perhaps one in every shade that feels like a memory.

If you feel the pull to make one of your own, here are the pieces that brought mine to life:

Whether you stitch this as a gift, a treat for yourself, or simply because your hands are craving something soft and bright, this little purse is pure spring comfort. And with Lion Brand’s regular sales, adding an extra skein or two feels like preparing for joy.

Have you tried 24/7 Cotton or made a rose clasp purse of your own? I would love to hear about your colors. They might just inspire my next bloom.

With handmade warmth, always
