We are Back!! A brand new Collaboration, an Eco friendly Project and a novel Purpose.
IndiaYarnCircle is collaborating with GoKraftz Yarns to bring the Nifty Thrifty Eco CAL Designed by Divya of @Stringtierey
Read through the post for all the details on the CAL
Inspiration and Purpose:
IndiaYarncircle aspires to be aware and mindful of the things we do as a community together. One of the things we envisioned, was use crafts as a means to recycle reuse and reduce waste and plastic consumption. Getting the community involved together to participate in a “Avoid Plastic Campaingn” became an idea we pursued. Not only does this CAL project help in the community learning new techniques and construction, but it also becomes a platform to spread awareness towards reducing the use of plastic and use reusable and recyclable materials and items.
About our Collaborator – GoKraftz Yarns:
Lets hear from our collaborators GoKratfz yarns
Hello IYC Members! We at Gokraftz yarns are super excited to collaborate with IndiaYarnCircle to bring our yarns for the community to work with.
It took a month for us to name our brand because we wanted our continuous efforts to provide engaging products to the craft community and to reflect on the name. With ‘Go’ we want you to never stop doing what you’re best at and you love – curating the finest craft products and expressing yourself fully. And, Kraftz is our creative way of saying, ‘craft.’ We are totally focused on quality craft material which is ahead of the league. And this is the story behind the name – GoKraftz.
We know our customers need three things :
- Best of quality yarns.
- Colour richness and fastness of the yarns.
- Innovation that brings comfort, convenience, and speed while working.
Don’t be surprised, because we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re working on a crochet, knitting, quilting, embroidery, or any craft project, GoKraftz aims to bring the finest yarns maintaining the highest standards of quality. We bring out the balance and richness of the colours in the yarns that we dye.
Nifty Thrifty Eco CAL
As a collaboration with Gokraftz yarns, we decided on a reusable crochet cotton bag as our project, useful for daily use for groceries and other shopping. Designed by our very own IYC member Divya Bhat of Stringtierey, the Nifty Thrifty Eco Bag is a uniquely constructed market tote bag. This beginner project is easy to make, light, and meshy, making it the perfect fabric for a tote bag.
Materials and Yarn:
The Bag design has an option to be made in two different types of yarn,
Gobulky yarn – sport weight yarn – 100gms each in 2 colours – total 200gms
