Inspiration
Flowers are always so fun and delightful. Seventies flowers are so happy and playful.
The flower power coasters I designed a number of years back now have been so popular on Pinterest and my Blog – surprisingly so!
I’m really glad makers have enjoyed making and using them as much as I have. Such a fun and satisfying quick project. And always a great way to put yarn scraps to good use.
These coasters are perfect for using up DK/8ply yarn scraps. Use any fibre you like… and I mean it! I do not personally subscribe to ‘you must only use cotton yarn for coasters’ train of thought.
Pick a non-pill or low-pill acrylic and your coasters will always wash up well. I’ve washed my favourite sets lots of times and they still look great. Dry your coasters flat (on a towel or clean flat surface).
I personally have never had any issues with moisture wicking with acrylic coasters.
But yes, I do make coasters in cotton or cotton blends too. And funnily enough some of my favourite coasters are made from easy wash wool that was too stiff and scratchy for wear but made for perfect coaster yarn. So, if you have some of those impossible to wear yarns lying around definitely repurpose them to items such as coasters and cozies.
Be sure to check out my flower power coasters also – six petal and eight petal.
