Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply
100% superwash merino
Length: 365mWeight: 110g
Introducing Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply! Have fun exploring all the wonderful semi-solid and multicolours this gorgeous hand dyed 4ply / fingering weight yarn comes in. The yarn has a high twist, creating a beautiful texture. We love it!
Soft and bouncy, Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply is a versatile, superwash merino that is wonderful for cowls, scarves, shawls, and lightweight sweaters. It's perfect at a tighter gauge for garments and looks equally fabulous at a much looser gauge for shawls and other accessories.
Its name is absolutely correct - it's scrumptiously yummy! It has beautiful stitch definition in all types of stitches, particularly lace, and looks wonderful in stocking stitch too where you can really see the subtle flecks of colour shining through. Choose from gorgeous hand-dyed semi-solids through to amazing multi-coloured Babettes.
- 4ply/fingering weight
- 100% superwash merino
- 365m/400 yd per 110g skein
- Needle/hook size: 2.25mm-3.75mm (or as suggested on the pattern)
- Gauge: 24-32 sts per 10cm
- Care: Gentle machine wash on a wool cycle. Dry flat.
Due to this being a hand-dyed yarn, we recommend alternating skeins particularly in garments.
But why is it called 2-Ply when it's a 4ply/fingering weight? Here, the 2-Ply refers to the number of strands that are twisted together to form the yarn and brings all sorts of wonderful properties to the finished fabric. You get:
- Less pilling compared to single ply
- A slightly textured, organic appearance to stocking stitch
- Exquisite lace with holes that open up naturally
- Defined cables that lie flat
- A misty, watercolour effect in colourwork knitting, with soft edges between colours.
