I got this yarn the misty nights yarn along with the Santa sack that was(still is) a rave for couple of weeks now!. For those who are not aware of what a Santa Sack is, these are the mystery sacks from lion brand that was on sale (you get 9skeins of yarn picked up by them and send to you). You don’t know what yarn you get until you receive them. I got these Santa Sacks for 14.99$ a bag. Due to the popularity of this Santa sack now they have increased the price of each sack as 19.99$.
I got 3 skeins of this bling bling yarn the misty nights yarn which was cotton,polyester and acrylic blend. One thing which I was sure about this yarn is that it is very difficult to work intricate stitches with this yarn. The sequins that’s attached to this yarn makes it difficult.
So I came up with my version of this Lacey poncho which gives a nice festival look. I named this pattern as ‘Misty Nights Poncho’ after this yarn!
