Sirdar Softspun Dk is part of a new range of yarns which have a soft, silvery centre thread with an outer layer of mohair like colour, which results in a subtle two tone effect with a gentle sheen that peeps through.

Unlike the traditional yarns which are created by spinning and twisting a number fibre lengths together is a bit more like a duvet, with a filling of lightweight strands which results in warmth and lightness together so the finished garment is incredibly comfy without bulk or heaviness  that only feels good outdoors.

This yarn is also excellent value.  Less than £2.50 per ball and the garments shown take an average of 10 balls to make, what is there to not like?

Sirdar Soft Spun comes in 25g balls

Being a standard dk this should knit up to a vast number of patterns
