The leaves are falling, there is a crisp freshness in the air and the nights are drawing in... it is officially sweater weather! To celebrate, we have a very exciting new addition to our yarns in the form of Hayfield’s Soft Twist yarn. This yarn is a beautiful 10% merino, 90% acrylic blend and comes in at a budget friendly €4.99 for a 100g ball. Named due to its construction of twist on twist, it is a sturdy yarn, whilst retaining a lovely soft feel. The merino component ensures warmth both whilst knitting/crocheting and whilst wearing your finished creation.
This yarn comes in the most wonderful colour palettes. There are three in total; rich deep tones, classic brights and soft neutrals. Use them on their own to knit classically beautiful garments and accessories, or why not combine them in a lovely season appropriate fair isle pattern? Because of the blended fibres this wool has a gorgeous and clean stitch definition that lends itself well to both knitting and crocheting.
In addition to this new yarn, we now stock the accompanying womenswear patterns, created especially for the Soft Twist. These patterns are timeless and flattering on every body type. They are also perfect for every occasion - wear them with jeans for a laidback look or style them over a dress or skirt for the more glamorous occasions in your life. This durable wool will hold its shape well so that you can show off your handmade garment over and over again.
The acrylic component in the Soft Twist is resistant to pilling meaning that any bobbles that form will naturally fall away. This will lengthen the life of your garments considerably. Combined with the fact that this yarn is machine washable, this makes for garments that are super easy to take care of, and to wear! So all you have to do is choose your pattern, choose your colours and you have your perfect Autumn project :)
