Beautiful yarn, both in looks and handling.

The colours in Batik Swirl have block tonal transitions to create exciting colour changes and the subtle dappled effect of the yarn gives a lovely sense of texture. Knits up like you are using lots of different coloured yarns, while in fact all you need to do is keep knitting and the yarn will do all the work. Like all the other yarns in the Batik range, it's a wool, and premium acrylic blend, so it is silky soft to the touch too.

Beautiful wool to knit or crochet , finished product lovely . but tangles a lot half way through the large ball and takes time to detangle
I’m using this yarn to machine knit a six panel poncho. I spent some time looking at the colour repeat, and rewinding the yarn to try and get a good match down the seams. I knitted the first two pieces yesterday, and seamed them, and the result was good! Onto the remaining four.
