HOOK 3.5mm

RRP £21

This hand-dyed silk and merino blend is so soft it just slides off your hook. Even with the subtle colour variegations, this yarn gives you beautifully crisp stitches. The cruelty-free merino wool is sourced from South American herds that are spared the practice of mulesing, and

there are 15 shades available (at the time of writing – Skein Queen does regular shop updates every few weeks). It’s an ideal yarn for shawls, boleros and other lightweight garments. It’s handwash only, though it’s made of a durable blend. www.skeinqueenyarns.co.uk
