Some of your patterns use ‘towelling effect yarn’. What is this?
April 18th, 2011The yarn used for these patterns was Sirdar Snowflake DK, which was discontinued for a short while, but then re-introduced as a baby yarn, in pastel shades and in smaller balls, under the name of Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake DK. If you are unable to find this yarn there are alternatives available, such as Wendy’s Peter Pan Velvet Touch or Darling, produced by Thomas Ramsden & Co., although any double knitting equivalent can be substituted as long as the tension remains the same as that quoted in the pattern.
