Hello from MeroYARN Country

My name is Della and I love crocheting. I'm a mother of 3 and I live in beautiful sunny Malaysia where the weather is hot 24/7 but people still crochet or even knit sweaters.

Why?

Simply because for the crazy love of yarns.

I will mainly be writing this blog either in English or Malay. But I guess for some of the tutorials I might write in both languages. This blog serves as a reference for myself as well as my fellow avid crocheters who are meroYARNS
