knitshop.co.uk’s popular Mulberry Silk Merino Wool range of yarns has been given a great write-up by well-known knitting designer Jeanette Sloan. The DK weight yarn was used by Jeanette in the beaded pyjama case design that appeared in Knitting magazine.
knitshop.co.uk Mulberry Silk Merino Wool is a DK weight yarn with a rich, lustrous appearance. Designer Jeannette Sloan used Mulberry Silk Merino Wool
for the pyjama case pattern that appeared in March 2011’s Knitting Magazine issue 87. As well as remarking on its “rich, lustrous appearance”, Jeannette said she found the yarn “has almost no twist and is beautifully soft to knit with”. Watch out for the pattern, it will be available to download from knitshop.co.uk.
The yarn is available in a choice of 24 shades and knits up on 3-4mm needles. It comes in 300m hanks. The all-natural yarn combines the warmth of merino wool with the strength and sheen of silk.
Both patterned knits and plain ones created using Mulberry Silk Merino Wool look great as the yarn has lovely stitch definition. It’s ideal for crochet as well as knitting. Vintage fans will love the muted blues and greens, which contrast with the strong reds, browns and purples found in other shades in the range.
If you’re looking for ideas of what to make with this gorgeous yarn, you’ll find it ideal for knitting the Silk Merino Vest or Lacet Wrist Warmer patterns offered as pdf downloads in the patterns section of the knitshop.co.uk website.
knitshop.co.uk Mulberry Silk Merino Wool yarn is available through the online shop or at the Lee Green boutique store. The yarn costs £11.95 for a 100g, 300m hank.
