Cotton stripes for Summer '25

This spring and summer seems to be the summer of stripes at AvicraftWool!  And with the weather being so warm at the moment, cotton feels so much better to knit or crochet with!

This lovely cotton yarn is by James C Brett, called Cotton Waves.  The same yarn base as the ever popular Its Pure Cotton, but with variation and stunning colourways, which blend in with the plain shades of It's Pure Cotton seamlessly.  Check out this sample scarf for an idea of how it knits up!

My personal favourite though is from Rico, called Chic Unique Cotton DK and follows the same construction as their original wool/acrylic Chic Unique, namely 2 strands of colours that gradually change colours at different intervals providing a mesmerising colour changing effect.  

And if the weather should turn cooler once more and you have a desire to knit with soft acrylic baby yarn, look no further than the new yarn by Stylecraft called Soft Baby Easy Stripes DK.  Beautifully soft and lovely to knit/crochet with, its perfect for easy baby blankets that have the wow factor!

Happy crocheting or knitting!
