Puppets Eldorado

Gone are the days when finer crochet cotton only came in white, cream and ecru! Puppets Eldorado cotton comes in a whole range of colours and sizes 6, 10, 12, 16. The traditional colours still exist but for a more contemporary look go for a darker colour. Colours range from pale pinks and blues to darker like a deep red, dark brown, black and dark green. I love the broze and gold yellow. Puppets Eldorado also has a range of lovely blends which I’ve used for my 3D flowers.

I used Puppets Eldorado number 10 for my gold table runner and number 20 for my pot pourri bags, it’s 100% cotton and lovely quality. Using a 1.75mm crochet hook the round motifs of my bronze/cream runner measure 2.5” (6.5cm). No 10 comes in 50g balls and has around 265 metres of cotton.

Use puppets Eldorado to make traditional doilies and table covers but also for delicate edgings and flower trims for summer straw hats.
I think an edging or trim using puppets Eldorado would make a lovely anniversary or wedding gift when crocheted to match bought towels.
You can buy puppets Eldorado from purpleinda crafts
