Every now and then, the fiber world blesses us with a truly groundbreaking innovation.

This year, Crochet Is My Yoga is delighted to announce the arrival of Vintage Pattern-Scented Yarn — a whimsical new addition for makers who appreciate the finer things in life, like old crochet magazines, treasured pattern leaflets, cedar chests, and the unmistakable thrill of finding a beautiful vintage booklet at an estate sale.


Carefully “inspired” by the atmosphere of well-loved workbaskets and timeworn pattern collections, this imaginary new yarn line is available in several historically inspired scents:

  • Attic Rose
  • Dusty Doily
  • Library Card Beige
  • Antique Pineapple Ecru

And because no product launch would be complete without a matching tool, we are also pleased to preview the upcoming Heritage Hook™, designed to make every modern pattern just a little harder to read for the sake of authenticity.

Of course, no two skeins smell exactly alike, because true vintage charm simply cannot be replicated.

In case it was not already obvious, this is all in good fun for April Fool’s Day. Still, I suspect more than a few vintage pattern lovers would happily keep a skein or two of Vintage Pattern-Scented Yarn on hand if it really existed.

If you enjoy vintage crochet, old publications, and the occasional bit of fiber humor, I hope this little joke brought a smile to your day.

Happy April Fool’s Day from Crochet Is My Yoga.
