Yarn Corner: Safari Chunky
Live on the Wild Side
King Cole's newest addition to their long history of successful cake yarns leaves me wanting to take an extended holiday! Safari Chunky is inspired by the natural patterns of the Serengeti, a self-striping acrylic that when made up pops from subtle shades of colour separated by striking lines of black.
You can buy these at Babes in the Wool for £6.75 each, or use this week’s Yarn Corner discount to save 15% off on any number of cakes!
We just got this exciting new line into the shop, and only today added it to babesinthewool.co.uk for you to browse. Weighing 150g and at 285 metres long, these generous cakes go a long way. You only need 2 to make a children’s jumper!
We currently stock 7 variegated colour combinations, expertly designed to produce a truly gorgeous striped effect. Below you’ll find each shade’s knitted swatch:
I just love the combination of the tiger stripes and bright shades; this yarn is like no other. The chunky weight also makes Safari perfect for this time of year as it’s time to make a start on blankets and sweaters for the cold seasons. Safari Chunky works up really fast, and is guaranteed to keep you warm and help ease your heating bills this winter. Don’t forget, you can enjoy 15% off this yarn for the next 2 weeks - find your exclusive discount code in Edition #52!
