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.
