http://www.woolwarehouse.co.ukSirdar Snuggly Heirloom is a warm, light DK-weight yarn
that has been created with family knits in mind. Its airspun
chainette construction offers a cosy yet lightweight fabric.
Soft and gentle in texture, this yarn has lots of spring, while
a touch of nylon makes it more hardwearing. Each of the
eight vintage-inspired shades has a subtle marled effect.Whirligigette comes in 100g ‘cakes’ in solid colours, and has
been designed to complement Scheepjes’ Whirligig giant
gradient yarn cakes, as it has the same weight and texture- although it works brilliantly on its own for cosy, luxurious
garments. Its combination of alpaca and wool delivers
decadence to your fabric as it glides through your needles.
