Yarn Corner: Giggles DK
Made to Make You Smile!
It’s always good fun in our yarn shop when the seasons are changing. Different companies release their new collections, and we have colourful deliveries arriving left and right. This week’s new arrival is Giggles DK, a multicolour acrylic from Wendy Yarns. Giggles has certainly brightened up our shop in time for spring - let’s take a closer look at this yarn!
Giggles is a double knitting yarn that comes in 10 fantastic shades. We’re stocking the whole range as these colourways look great, and the yarn is really good value for money. It’s £3.50 per ball and there’s a whopping 360m on each ball. We crocheted up a sample piece and the finished square was 18 x 18 inches (46 x 46cm). One ball felt like a small blanket already!
The colour changes in Giggles are lovely, switching seamlessly between complimentary solid shades and forming gentle stripes. It really makes the finished piece eye catching and interesting to look at. The yarn itself is nice and soft to work with.
If you love vibrant yarns and hate switching colours manually, Giggles will be a great choice for your next project. The bright shades are perfect for welcoming in spring whether your making garments, blankets, accessories or cosy homeware.
Another plus with this yarn is that it can go in both the washing machine and the tumble dryer, making it extra easy to care for your finished projects. This is especially good if you’re making garments for children as they’re bound to make many trips through the washer!
Giggles will work with any standard double knitting pattern that you have in mind, so have a browse of this fabulous collection and start planning your next make today! The tagline for this yarn is ‘Made to Make You Smile’, and it will not disappoint…
