Yarn Corner: Wendy Supreme DK
A customer favourite double knitting yarn
I thought the best way to kick off Yarn Corner for 2023 was with something supreme! Wendy Supreme DK is a top notch double knitting yarn that has become a customer favourite in our yarn shop, beating out other dk ranges that have been around a lot longer. As double knit is also one of the more popular yarn weights, I thought the discount for this range would come in handy as you start planning for your 2023 projects. Let’s take a closer look!
We became stockists of Wendy back in 2021 and this led to lots of new yarns appearing on our shelves. One of the main reasons we opted for Supreme DK is because of the fantastic shades. The range carries all the classic colours you could need, but also offers some more interesting shade alternatives that other lines don’t have. The brightest of reds, deep purples, and an array of greens; Supreme DK will leave you spoiled for choice! We currently have over 30 shades in stock.
It also beats out other double knits when it comes to price. At just £2.25 per 100g ball, you get excellent value for money as well as a high quality yarn. With your exclusive 15% subscriber discount, you can get Wendy Supreme DK for just £1.91 per ball, making this yarn a steal especially if you’re working on larger makes!
The yarn is made of 100% premium acrylic and has an intriguing spinning method that Wendy keeps top secret. You can also machine wash your finished Supreme DK projects up to 40 degrees and tumble dry on low, making this an easy yarn to care for long term. To demonstrate the yarn, I asked my mum to crochet up a sample square of Supreme DK (pictured above). She enjoyed working with it so much that she decided to make a pair of hand warmers too!
This is certainly a yarn that keeps our customers coming back for more; there’s nothing better than having a reliable yarn in mind that you can return to time and time again and still be excited about. Below is a stunning crochet star blanket made by Sue from one of our crochet groups using a mixture of Second Chance Recycled DK and Wendy Supreme DK. As showcased in this photo, Supreme DK works well with other yarns and is a complimentary addition to all kinds of projects.
Below is a colour combination for a blanket put together by another of our local customers using Supreme DK exclusively. The shades in this range work really well together no matter what combination you use them in, and there’s a good choice of neutrals and brights to make a well balanced colourway. We are always expanding our range of shades with every order we place to give our customers the most choice- if there’s a particular colour you’re looking for that we don’t have right now, send us an email at help@babesinthewool.co.uk or you can add yourself to the waitlist via our website!
So if you’re looking for a high quality, classic double knitting yarn, look no further than Supreme DK. It’s an excellent choice for price, colour and stitch definition, and will work with any standard double knitting pattern you have in mind.
