Great yarn to work with Due to the cotton mix not being 100% cotton it holds its shape so much better. I have knitted a few summer tops cardigans in it.
I've recently started doing crochet intarsia and this yarn was excellent for the project. The yarn does not split and gives a firm (but not boardy) finish, almost like a fabric. I've also used it to knit with and it gives a softer, drapy feel. Personally for knitting I prefer it knitted on a number 3.5mm needle rather than the 4mms needle recommended.
This yarn crochets wonderfully! It's so soft yet perfectly firm for the amigurumi pattern I bought it for (Necromancer Vulture by CrochetByBogusia). Would definitely recommend!
Was delighted how quickly my yarn was despatched and delivered
Not used this yarn before, but it seems very soft and is looking very pretty as I start knitting a lacy patterned jumper for my new granddaughter. My stock of patterns are so old that I rarely find the recommended yarn. I like the fact that it is 60% cotton, as I prefer natural fibres wherever possible. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished jumper.
Brilliant for crochet and such beautiful colours, excellent service too.
Best yarn for beginners lovely finish on projects
My first Sirdar yarn purchase in many years. I was hesitant to try the yarn as it is 50% cotton. I am making up my own pattern. The yarn is a little stiff and stitch definition is great. It is slightly stretchy and spring and I believe it will stay true to gauge. The yarn does not have the feel of 100% natural fibres but will hold its shape after washing.
I love the colours of Sirdar Stories. The yarn is easy to use and flies through my fingers xx
