Black Light Crochet Aquarium

I was very excited to realize 3 Jelly Yarn colors are UV light reactive! Since some undersea creatures glow from phosphorescence, I crocheted a black light aquarium with sea anemones using Hot Pink Candy, Lemon Lime Ice and Raspberry Sorbet Fine Jelly Yarn. Sans water, black light only fills the tank with light from 2 small 6-inch florescent bulbs. Black velvet paper surrounds the tank on 3 sides.

Civil War Soldier’s Bible Returned to Family

I was looking through my old book collection about 1 month ago and came across a soldier’s Civil War bible I forgot, I bought 3 years ago. Looong story short… I after searched for the family online, I finally found them. And yesterday, My husband and I met the great-great grand niece and presented her, and her family members with the lost bible after 145 years at the grave site of the Civil War soldier in New Jersey. He died with the pocket bible in the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness in New Jersey in the 1860s. He was only 20 years old.

Welcome to Jelly Yarns

This group is for fans of our indie Jelly Yarn™ and the new Jelly Yarn book. We’ll discuss the idiosyncrasies and interesting information about this colorful fun vinyl yarn.

Jelly Yarn™ is round, glossy vinyl yarn specifically formulated for knitting and crochet. The colors of Jelly Yarn™ were named from our favorite candy, ices and deserts. This fun yarn produces a glossy texture when knit or crocheted and is waterproof. Go ahead... knit or crochet something for the rain! ...or put it in a snowglobe!
