Kick your crochet up a notch and add a pop of color to your next crochet afghan with the latest yarn from Lion Brand, Zaps. This super bulky yarn works up incredibly fast and is sure to brighten up any room of your home.
Zaps yarn combines a 2 ply stand of solid colored yarn with a strand of bright, color changing yarn. Each skein of this unique yarn can include anywhere from three to five different colors, so there's endless opportunitues for colorful crochet projects to be made with this yarn. For example, Supersonic is a solid plum color that is twisted with light purple and bright red; Jet Setter is a black solid yarn that is mixed with neon yellow, green, orange, and pink. Because the bright strand of neon yarn changes color as you crochet, it's really fun to see what your finished project looks like when you're done!
Neon yarn can sometimes be a little harsh on the eyes, so Zaps is a great way to incorporate just a splah of it into your crochet projects without having it dominate the pattern. Zaps yarn has the best of both worlds: classy neutrals with a bit of neon. Choose from the following eight color options: Atomic Blue, Lightning, Supersonic, Jet Setter, Espresso, Quickfire, Busy Burgundy, and Sonic Purple.
Plus, be sure to check out the Cosmic Dorm Crochet Throw! This full pattern from our friends at Lion Brand is made using 5 different colos of Zaps yarn (12 skeins total). It's a fun crochet throw to make for the college-bound teen! Get the printable pattern here.
