What do MAL / CAL / KAL mean? What makes them so great?
In the knitting and crocheting community, CAL and KAL are popular acronyms that represent collaborative crafting events. CAL stands for "Crochet-A-Long," where participants work on a specific crochet project together over a set period, sharing progress and tips. KAL, or "Knit-A-Long," focuses on knitting projects, allowing knitters to connect and support each other as they tackle a shared pattern or design. The Fonaltündér webshop hosts several of these collaborative projects each year and also participates in events organized by others, fostering creativity and community engagement among crafters.

What should you know about this current True Colors Crochet-ALong?
For this CAL, kits are available in six color choices, Ocean Pearl, Lemon Leaves, Silver Shadows, Ivory Blossom, Atlantis Dream, and Cream Comfort. True Colors is a CAL for a blanket made with Durable Comfy yarn. Durable Comfy is a soft Fine / Sport weight (2) yarn made of 100% microfiber acrylic, which makes it a premium acrylic yarn. Microfibers are extra fine fibers with a natural touch. These fibers give Durable Comfy a light and soft structure and simultaneously ensure that the yarn is strong and durable. Durable Comfy can absorb and drain moisture well. This means crochet and knitting projects feel less clammy in warm weather.
The True Colors CAL can be followed via the Facebook group ‘Haakplein’ and www.haakplein.com Design by: Naomi Harreman and Jolanda Verschiere.
