dierent? Cotton Zickzack DK yarn has a

crimped ‘zigzag’ built in so it comes with

a pleasing bounce that plays through to

polyamide mix adds to the rustic, uneven

texture, making it great for loose, lounge-

aboutsummer wear in particular. The very

latestcolour additions to this range are

harmonious marled options, including Yellow

Spray(seen here) and mellow Pink-Green.

With12 overall shades to choose from, and a

rangeof inspiring patterns, there’s plenty to

keepyou interested.
