Sirdar Snuggly Rascal DK shade 452 "Playtime"

Posted by Rita Craft on 7th May 2020

I have crocheted 47 baby shawls over the past 40 years, same pattern, always using Sirdar Snuggly. It is a lovely yarn - soft, washes well, and many colours to choose from. I prefer the random shades especially Baby Crofter. The most recent shawl was made with shade 452 - "Playtime". I chose this for what I hoped was mostly purples, but was disappointed. The colours are pale lilac, delicate yellow, gentle green and a sort of peach colour. It didn't come out looking anything like the illustration.
The yarn worked up well, but one 50 gram ball had lots of knots(presumably where the thread had broken) so I had to undo the work, back to the start of a row, discard some yarn and start the row again.
One ball had white in the yarn, showing where one of the colour jets had been running out when the yarn was made.
But I would choose Sirdar Snuggly again.
I had excellent service from Knitting Village, and would recommend them!
