Did you know that you can buy scented yarn?
Yep, you can now find 100% cotton yarn in these scents…
- powder
- lavender
- chamomile
- aloe vera
- fleur-de-lavande
- vanilla
- rose petal
As you crochet or knit the scent from the yarn is gently released…wow! What will they think of next? It would make a great gift for your knitting friend that has everything!
Have you tried this? What’s your favorite type of yarn?

that is so cool! I might have to start knitting again… thanks for posting!
Haven’t tried this yet but will def. have to try it now! What will they come up with next!?!
Would be cute to make some cute little amigurumi cupcakes with!!
I would love to try this!! Haven’t knitted for a while, but love the idea of scented yarn. Sounds relaxing to me…
I’d love to try this but I can’t buy it locally. We only have big box stores with pathetic selections of yarn and our LYS doesn’t carry Bernat. She doesn’t carry anything for crocheters, either. I wish we had a big yarn store where one could sample the yarn!
Does it wash out?
Fav type of yarn is vintage. Smells a little funny at first but a few squirts of body spray helps out.
That is just strange! LOL! I’m not a knitter or crocheter, I just use yarn as tassel filler, but that might be something to try out! Scented tassels…hmmmm…..
: )
Sugar ‘n’ Cream yarn has some scented varieties, too, though I haven’t tried any of them yet. I think I would enjoy the smell as I am working with the yarn, but I am not so sure about the finished product having a smell. 🙂 My favorite kind of yarn is lion brand cotton ease. I wish it came in more colors, but I love the way this yarn works up!
Interesting! I haven’t seen scented yarn, yet. I might try it, depending on the scent & how strong it was. My favorite yarns are natural fibers or recycled. I like the Sugar & Cream ones that are US grown cotton, in support of US farms & I really like the colors. I also like the eco cotton (75% recycled cotton) twists, particularly the “candy marl” one. It really does remind me of candy 🙂
I bought it by mistake.. i thought someone spilled perfume on it. it stinks. Yes, it pays to read labels, my mistake.
