TRULY WOOL RICH

WEIGHT 4ply CONTENT 75% wool, 25% polyamide BALL 50g/205m NEEDLE 2¾-3¼mm RRP £2.12 This soft-to-the-touch 4ply gives excellent stitch definition thanks to its tight twist, but it still has a delicate halo.

Its polyamide content means it’s a hard-wearing yarn that will stand repeated machine washing (dry naturally, though), and that makes it an ideal yarn for knitting socks.

The two dozen shade choices include three marl-like yarns with a pale thread running through them.

As well as socks, this is a fine yarn for baby clothes and lace knits, and there’s a good choice of patterns on Cygnet’s website. www.cygnetyarns.com 01274 743374
