 Many of the stores will have started to pack away the yarns and reduce down the shelving space because the knitting season is officially over. Well, it’s a great time to pick up some bargains but is it really over? So many knitters are knitting all throughout the year these days ... and why not ... with so many beautiful projects and yarns on offer. Enticing patterns for Spring cardigans, lace scarves, summer tops and accessories, and of course babies don’t always arrive during the cooler months. So there’s layettes, shawls, bootees, rompers, overalls, cardigans and caps a plenty. The choice of yarns is so extensive too. With fabulous silk blends, bamboo, cotton and fine merino; there’s a feast of materials to choose from and here’s a couple of my current favourites from the Bella Baby range. Bamboo Blend is made up of 80% Bamboo and 20% Merino Wool displaying a wonderful sheen. It’s a versatile, tightly twisted 8ply which comes in many colours including, White/Cream, Deep Fuchsia, Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Dusty Mauve, Teal, Olive & Black.  Silk Blend compiles 60% Wool, 20% Bamboo and 20% Silk in a 50g ball. The soft and silky texture would be perfect for a baby cardigan or shawl and again it’s an 8ply thickness so it could also be used for many other projects as well. There's a lovely range of colours including Cream, Blue, Apricot and Pink. |
