At £2.80 per 100g ball this Cygnet Seriously Chunky is a real contender for cheap yet fabulous knitting. Excellent value and a super colour range so there’s lots to go for. Some really vibrant shade combinations are ‘just right’ for childrens knits and yet some of the gorgeous lime green, violet and trendy pinks are just the thing for cold days and adult quick knitting.

We (Bev) have been experimenting with crocheting a fabulous table runner and a ‘pot’ which actually turned out to be a bag, as you can see, looks amazing. If you are creative and can crochet then you can try to make one of these too. We have no patterns for this yarn but it does knit up to other Super Chunky patterns (you will need to check your tension) Cygnet recommend needle size 10mm to 12mm so it will grow really quickly. Made from 100% Acrylic it is idea for babies and children as it will go into the washing machine, a vital requirement for youngsters.

Needles: 10 – 12mm

Tension: 6 stitches = 9 rows to make 10×10cm square

It’s so new that we haven’t got it on to the website yet but I just had to show you the latest in our range of knitting kits. The Indie Snuggly Button Scarf’ kit comes complete with 5 x 50gm balls of Indie Super Chunkie yarn in the multi green shade 155 or the multi browns shade 158 plus the pattern. It’s quick to knit on 10mm needles which are not included as we feel that most knitters will have the needles and you also will need a cable needle. This yarn is so very soft and cuddly, it makes a fabulous neck warmer for those really chilly days of winter.

This kit can be knitted up in an afternoon so if you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas or just something really warm and easy to do then this if for you. To obtain the kit just email us or contact the shop by phone on 01736 711808 and we will be really pleased and thrilled to help.
