Drew Emborsky is a crochet fanatic who turned a childhood hobby into a full-time job as a designer and author. His passion for quality materials spurred him to found a company that specializes in yarns that are hand-dyed in the US. Drew's Decades Yarn is a line of yarns inspired by trends from America's past.

The yarns pictured here are from the 1980s set of the Decades line. The Iconic fiber label indicates that the skein is worsted weight yarn that has superb stitch definition. Because it's super soft, it's perfect for making baby blankets and sweaters. And don't worry about spills; this yarn is made of superwash wool.

The variegated yarns in this Decades line will surprise you as you crochet with them. They gradually deepen in color as you work, and although they look sweet and innocent, their names pack a wicked punch in terms of humor. The green skein is called "Hostile Takeover" while the purple skein is called "Fer Sure."

This unique yarn line spans five decades. In addition to 1980s inspired yarns, Drew's collection includes the 1950s ("Blue Suede Shoes" and "TV Dinner), the 1960s ("Lava Lamp" and "Leisure Suit"), the 1970s, ("Shag Carpet" and "Pet Rock"), and the 1990s ("Boy Band" and "Overalls"). Take a trip through time with these sensational skeins.
