Design No 10304
This co-ordinating blanket and cushion from our Colour Pop Home collection use the same stitch in complementary shades. You’ll form the deeper ridges on the cushion cover by manipulating the fabric as you knit in flag stitch, adding a new technique to your knitting skills and some extra drama to your sofa.
Knitting Level: Intermediate
You will also need: 1 pair of 4mm (UK8 – USA6) Knitting Needles and 1 4mm (UK8 – USA6) 100cm Circular Needle for Blanket if required.
About This Yarn
A fine-spun yarn with cosy merino wool to suit smaller budgets. The name refers to the twist-on-twist technique which combines strength with softness. With its 10% pure warm merino wool with anti-pill acrylic, Hayfield Soft Twist knits will retain their good looks wear after wear. In a range of versatile shades for year-round colour in three complementary palettes: rich deep tones, classic brights and soft neutrals.
What’s it like to work with?
The merino content gives this yarn a warm soft touch while the twist-on-twist style creates clean stitch definition for extra clarity as you work textured stitches.
What is it best for?
Ideal for both knit and crochet, Hayfield Soft Twist is especially good for womenswear because the anti-pill acrylic means that any bobbles naturally fall away, so your garments will look smarter for longer.
