Vanna White introduces a new yarn today
Vanna White Yarn from Lion Brand
Vanna’s hair dresser taught her to crochet on the set of Wheel of Fortune. She enjoys the craft as a way of productively using her downtime during filming to create hand-made gifts for friends and family. She connected with Lion Brand Yarn Company 13 years ago, when that company’s president, David Blumenthal, saw her on the Tonight Show, where she mentioned that she was a crocheter. He contacted her and she has been a spokesperson for the company ever since, hosting their annual fashion show at the Craft and Hobby Association each year.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Vanna for 13 years and found her to be a warm, lovely person who is down-to-earth, genuine and caring. We worked with her to develop this yarn that reflects those special qualities,” said Blumenthal.
Patterns for Vanna’s Choice will include afghans, which is Vanna White’s favorite type of item to crochet, as well as baby items, accessories and garments.
