Yarn Corner: Curiosity Cakes
The yummiest yarn…
What better yarn for our birthday edition than cakes!
King Cole’s Curiosity DK has been a complete hit with our customers over the last few weeks. It’s a yarn we’ve stocked before, but we recently brought it back as part of a special collection for our 40th birthday. Curiosity has always been popular with our local customers, and we know that many of you are happy that it’s made a comeback at Babes in the Wool!
At 480 metres and 150g, these self-patterning acrylic yarn cakes are perfect for larger makes. Stocked in eleven swirly colour combinations from the stunning deep hues of Purple Haze to the earthy natural tones of Waterlily.
Making with cakes is a lot less hassle than joining together smaller balls of yarn. If you’ve been hankering to sink your teeth into a bigger project, consider picking up Curiosity just to give it a try.
Here’s friend of Babes in the Wool Helen displaying her exquisite crocheted blanket using Curiosity shade Waterlily 2903 (4 cakes left in stock):
The yarn patterns up beautifully and goes a long way. My mum recently crocheted a couple of star blankets for our shop window, and told me that she didn’t even need to use the full cake for this size. Take a look at the star blankets below - imagine how big you could go if you used the full cake!
At just ₤5.99 per cake, Curiosity is an ideal choice if you’re crafting on a budget. It still has a high quality and offers some lovely shades to choose from. You can click the button below to go straight to Babes in the Wool’s online shop to browse all colours of Curiosity DK! We offer free Click and Collect if you’re in Hull, and easy UK-wide shipping for ₤3.25 flat-rate. We also provide free shipping for all orders over £35.
As well as being a great yarn choice for blankets, Curiosity also goes well with handmade garments. You can give your scarves and shawls a lovely pop of colour without having to worry about changing shades throughout. Curiosity also patterns up lovely with bigger garments, such as sweaters and cardigans. You can create a one-of-a-kind piece for your wardrobe without breaking the bank.
