Hey it's Sarah from Lion Brand. I hope
you're ready for summer because today
I'm going to be telling you all about
this new yarn:
Summer Kiss.
Summer Kiss is like a little treat for
your summer projects.
It comes in both bright and pastel
colors which is not only great for
summer projects but also for kids and
baby projects.
How cute would a little sundress be in
this color?
This yarn is a cotton and polyester
blend and it's very unique because it
comes in an i-cord construction.
That means the yarn is chained instead
of being plied or spun
together. Cotton yarn doesn't have the
same elasticity as wool
but this i-cord makeup gives Summer Kiss
a bit more stretch than it normally
would have.
And there's also this cute pop of color
mixed in which looks really cool when
it's worked up.
Summer Kiss is a medium, number four
worsted weight yarn
and it's machine washable. And you're
getting a good amount of yarn each ball.
There's 262 yards or 240 meters.
And as i mentioned before it's 80% cotton
and 20%
polyester. Okay let's see how Summer Kiss
works up
but before we do, don't forget to hit the

Summer Kiss.
First up we have crochet. This is a
single crochet swatch worked up on the
recommended hook size an I-9.
So this yarn was really cool to work
with it has a really interesting texture.
It's crisp like cotton but it has a
really bouncy feel. And it works up
almost like a tape yarn.
It doesn't split at all when you're
working with it because of that i-cord
construction
and it feels nice and lightweight which
is perfect for summer, of course.
It also feels like it's really durable.
In this crochet swatch it definitely has
that structured crochet feeling
but it's very wearable. It's so
lightweight.
This was really fun to work up.
Okay next we have a stockinette stitch
swatch which was worked up on the
recommended needle size, a size 7.
This definitely has that cotton
feel. It's really crisp.
In fact it almost feels like a linen.
But it's still really flexible and it
has such good
stretch! This is incredible for
a cotton yarn to be able to stretch back
into place like that which means it's
great for making garments for babies and
for adults.
You can make yourself a really great
tank top or summer cardigan with this.
And I love the way that these little
color flecks work up.
In the pastel color like this one it's
really subtle and it almost looks like a
natural
kind of tweed. It's so fun and so cute.
This yarn is really unique! I hope this
video has inspired you to check out
Summer Kiss.
It's a cotton blend yarn that comes in
great colors and the i-cord construction
makes this yarn one of a kind and
perfect for making warm weather garments.
I can't wait to see what you make with
it. Happy stitching! Mwah!
