This yarn works up smoothly on 4mm needles with a consistent tension that suits confident beginners and experienced makers alike. The self-striping colour sequence means the stitch definition needs to carry the interest, and it obliges — stitches sit cleanly without splitting. At DK weight it has a slight drape that makes it better suited to looser, decorative pieces than structured garments.
The colour-changing effect lends itself well to granny-square blankets and simple scarves where the stripe sequence can play out in full. It also works for children’s accessories and simple flat-knit cushion covers where easy-care fibre is a practical priority.
Available in a selection of multi-tonal self-striping colourways, each blending several shades through a single ball for built-in colour interest without any weaving in of ends.
