Great colors and sturdy design
I like the wide range of colours and good quality wool. As the design is Swiss darned onto a knitted panel, it gives the piece stability with the yarn being malleable but sturdy and doesn't curl or feel greasy.

Product Description
Stylecraft Special DK is a 100% acrylic DK yarn in 100g balls, each holding 323yds (295m). It knits to 22 stitches and 30 rows over 10cm on 4.00mm (US 6) needles; recommended crochet hook 4.00mm (F).
Its reputation rests on two things: a very large palette developed to coordinate, and a smoother, softer handle than acrylic usually has. That combination is why it is a standard choice for projects that need a dozen shades to sit together — crocheted squares, stripes, colorwork blankets and children's knits.
Being fully synthetic it is machine washable and hard-wearing, which is what you want in a blanket or anything made for a child.
Care: delicate machine wash at 40°C, low heat tumble dry, cool iron.

Customer Reviews
I have used this yarn a lot in making hospital blankets, and it’s lovely. It crochets up nicely and has lots of lovely colours. I have made quite a few blankets, and it washes very well.
Great value for holiday projects
It is very easy to knit with and has great value length of yarn in each 100 grams. I'm using it for making three scarves for Christmas gifts.
Great value and quality yarn
I have used it before, and it offers great value and quality for the price. I'm crocheting another blanket from a pattern I downloaded using the larksfoot stitch. It is lovely and soft and goes a long way.
Lovely and smooth yarn
I have just started on the Stylecraft DK yarn and it’s lovely to knit. It is smooth and rich in color, and it’s beautiful. Beautiful and smooth on every stitch. I couldn’t wait to start on this yarn, and I will certainly choose the yarn again when this project is finished. I am using it for a child’s cardigan, and the blue yarn shows where the border rib ends and the pattern starts.
Soft and beautiful yarn
I'm using it for the Unicorn Dream Pattern with Stylecraft Special DK. It has beautiful yarn, pastel colors, and the softness. It is an easy yarn to crochet with. There was very quick delivery to Switzerland.
I like the range of colours. The yarn washes and wears well, and it is easy to crochet. I am on my 3rd year of making temperature blankets, and the variety of colours has enabled me to choose colours that represent temperature and blend well. This order was for a baby blanket for my great nephew/niece to be.
Always pleased with Stylecraft
I have used Stylecraft many times before and am always pleased with the result. The range of colours is excellent. The yarn is easy to knit and free of breaks. I mostly knit sweaters for my children and grandchildren. The results are lovely soft sweaters, hats, scarves, etc. which wash and wear well. Very well indeed.
My favorite yarn for versatile projects
Stylecraft is my favourite brand, and I've enjoyed the Special DK for quite a while. I'm using it for scarves, jumpers, and neckwarmers. Special DK lends itself so beautifully to the fisherman's rib stitch, so I think the neckwarmer I'm knitting in that stitch will be my favourite.
Can't stop making blankets!
I love the quality of the yarn. My daughter-in-law recommended it. I made one blanket with the DK then made another in Stylecraft Special Aran. I was so impressed by it that I bought enough to make two more! I used a whole ball in each stripe of the first blanket and got more rows but the Aran grows quickly with only 6 rows per ball. I can’t stop making blankets.
