Customer Reviews
This yarn is very easy to work with and turns into a lovely soft cushy fabric once it is washed and blocked. Do a swatch before you start and keep in mind that the yarn will bloom significantly once it is washed (See image - Top thread is washed, bottom thread is oiled yarn off the cake). The yarn is very consistent in width and colour, but I am still switching out the cakes every row on my project to prevent subtle colour changes on the finished project. I love the chainette. It doesn’t split when I am knitting it and it is very strong. I am using 3.5 mm wood needles, but I can get away with 4.00 mm needles or larger for the next project because it blooms so much. I want to buy more of this before it is all gone.
Thank you so much for your review and your beautiful knitting sample!
