YARN REVIEWS

We love a reliable yarn that delivers on both

quality and quantity, and you get all that and

more with this new yarn kid on the block!

Hitting the shelves in a beautiful range of

eight shades, which create a super-warm

fabric once knitted up, Bellissima Chunky

oers great value, meaning it’s cheaper

for you to create something personal and

modern! A 100% acrylic yarn, Bellissima

Chunky is perfect for garments, accessories

and blankets that you can pop in the washing

machine when grubby. Soft to knit with, and

next to the skin, it’s a thoroughly enjoyable

yarn to work with and wear.

This super-squishy delight is pure fun from

the moment you cast on. Soft, chunky and

speedy to knit with, it slips through your

fingers and onto your needles very easily.

Choose 10mm needles and you’ll get bouncy

stitches that come with surprisingly good

definition. Knit this yarn with even larger

needles for a slobby eect, or alongside a

thinner yarn to add a deeper halo or cool

colour finish to your fabric. Delve into the

pretty palette of eight vintage-inspired

shades with names such as Vanilla Cream,

Rose Petal and Merlot. For more exciting

patterns visit http://www.kingcole.com.

Are you ready for something dierent? Then

this 100% cotton yarn could be for you.

Designed for those who love to experiment,

this chainette yarn by the experts at Rico is

surprisingly easy to knit with. Best knitted

for soft, loose and drapey summer wear,

it’s perfect for shawls and long or short

cardigans. We love the idea of making

garments that you can throw on during

the warmer months in a range of gorgeous

shades. Try out Aqua, Ecru, Yellow, Pink and

Blue for your summer-cool wardrobe. Not

only is this fun yarn great for garments, it’s

made in stylish Italy too!
