This amazingly colourful yarn is designed to

drive you crazy with rich hues! A fantastic

mix of wool and nylon, Crazy Zauberball

is the perfect yarn for tough, super-warm

socks and more. As you knit the yarn slips

easily through your fingers helping you to

create fabrics that are beautifully coloured,

strong and resilient throughout. Threaded

through with a striped marl section, this

exciting yarn is a great option for variegated

colour fans too, even the balls are wound to

show this off! Choose from their 33-shade

range, we love Schokoladenseite (2092)

above, but you’ll fall for many more.

Merion, with its gentle roving yarn mix, is the

epitome of luxury, and we believe it’ll become

a firm favourite once tried. Warm and full in

the hand, it knits up into a soft, lofty texture

that’s wonderfully pliable. Garments knitted

in this top yarn have an extravagant, heavy

drape and a beautiful swing. Tension-wise

this yarn is a traditional chunky and flies

easily off the needles, which is perfect if

you’re in a hurry to get that long cardigan or

squishy jumper finished. It’s meterage is a

huge 100m per 100g, so it’s very satisfying

to knit with. Merion’s muted shade range

has 12 varied hues, including Oat (above),

RRP £3.60 WEIGHT Super chunky Moss, Gold, lilac, Rose and Sky.
