I was lucky enough to be given some Cygnet Pure Baby Anti Piling Yarn to play with.
This yarn is lovely! Thats it – I could really stop here with my explanation and description .
It’s delightful Yarn
The colours I was sent were beautiful.
Rose
Ocean
Pastel Blue
Cream
Ocean, one of my favourite colours, I love a good blue/green and this yarn completely ticks all the boxes.
The Rose think a proper dusky pink, the depth of this is lovely.
The Cream is a creamy cream, sometimes yarn they can be yellowy, beige cream, but this is a creamy cream. (For a beige cream look at biscuit in this yarn)
The Pastel blue – a great baby blue colour, so light and airy.
And this really is a premium Acrylic. It feels amazing, and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Not “Squeaky”, and the shine on this yarn was lovely.
Anti-pilling DK.
One of my bugbears of any yarn, is that you make your great creation, and in no time at all it starts to felt/ pile (the bobbles that appear after a few wears).
This yarn does exactly what it says on the label – and it is Anti-pilling.
Sold in 100g balls, these are a huge 245m per ball, so even thought slightly more that a standard DK this is definitely worth the extra pennies.
Colour wise, there are currently 12 to choose from, “standard” baby colours, in pinks, blues, yellows.
I’d love a Darker Grey, and a Mustard, as I see myself making things for me in this yarn – it’s too good just for babies!
Basically – this has now turned into my new favourite yarn!
I love it so much, I’ve already ordered 15 balls of Biscuit from Snufflebean Yarn to make myself a cardigan (new design coming soon), and have a play with a blanket idea I’ve had!
So – do you want to see what I made this time?
It had to be a bold bright Chevron pattern!
It you want save this one for later, please pin the photo below.
One thing I always try when being a designer is to fully use the yarn, by this I mean – there is no point buying a whole ball of yarn when you only need 3 more rows – so sizing was cruical for this project.
4 balls pretty much exactly – as this is all you should have left over!
That was a yarn chicken win!
This blanket is the perfect pram/ stroller blanket size – so any colour combo could be used.
