Here you’ll find my crochet book cover patterns, along with the exact yarns I personally use to make them. I often get asked what type of yarn works best, so I gathered it all in one place to make things easier for you. These are the yarns I love for their feel, color, and how nicely they hold shape without much fuss. Whether you're making your first book cover or looking to match the look of mine, this list has you covered.

This list brings you behind the scenes of my laminated real flower bookmarks—the dreamy little things I press, embroider, and finish with beaded bracelets. If you're curious about how they're made or want to try your own version, you’ll find two sections here: 1.Finished bookmarks from my ArtMorfic shop (a touch of nature for your pages!) 2. The actual tools, materials, and supplies I use in the making process. Handmade magic meets practical how-to. Let’s peek into the creative mess (the good kind)!
