Faux Crochet Nails – How Crazy Are You?

So your admiration for crochet has gone to a whole new level. Level of Craziness, that is! I bet you are even thinking it’s an April Fools’ joke, right? No! These are totally serious!

I am not sure what little black dress you would match these faux nails with? Maybe the one with the crochet border?

You know the one you added last September because you thought it needed a little extra bling, before you went to the crochet gathering where everyone was talking about crochet.

Does that sound familiar? Then you totally need these nails and they can purchased for 20 Euros via Hooklookshop.

All silliness aside though, these are little works of art and for that reason alone I love them! Will never wear them, but totally love them!

Why Brava Yarn Is a Great Choice for Crochet Projects

If your crochet project needs plenty of colour, easy-care yarn and a sensible price, Brava is one of those dependable acrylic yarns worth keeping in mind. Even better, Brava is the Yarn of the Month and is currently 20% off throughout September, with no discount code required.

Brava is a soft, premium acrylic yarn designed for projects that will be used, washed and loved. That makes it particularly useful for crochet blankets, granny-square projects, amigurumi, children’s clothing, baby gifts and everyday accessories.

Why Crocheters Will Love Brava

One of Brava’s biggest selling points is its generous colour range. Granny-square blankets and colourwork projects can quickly require a surprisingly large selection of shades, so having plenty of coordinating colours available makes planning your palette much easier.

It is also available in four different yarn weights. You can choose a lighter option for garments and accessories, a classic weight for blankets and toys or a heavier yarn when you want a quick and cosy project.

Because Brava is acrylic, finished items are easier to care for than projects made with more delicate fibres. This is especially helpful when crocheting baby blankets, toys, pet blankets or gifts for people who may not want to hand-wash their crochet.

What Would I Crochet With Brava?

I would use Brava for a colourful granny-square blanket, a washable baby afghan or a collection of amigurumi toys. It would also be a practical option for donation projects because it combines softness, durability and affordability.

The current 20% discount makes September a good time to experiment with a new colour palette or stock up for a larger crochet blanket. If you have a project sitting in your queue that needs multiple balls of yarn, this might be the little push you needed to finally start it.
