Easy-care acrylic
The majority acrylic content keeps the yarn practical and supports machine-washable finished projects.
Sirdar Jewelspun With Wool turns simple chunky stitches into rich, self-striping fabric. The soft acrylic-and-wool blend adds warmth without losing easy-care practicality, while the colour flows straight from the ball. No complicated colourwork required.
Soft + self-striping
Jewelspun With Wool brings the much-loved Jewelspun colour effect to a thicker, warmer yarn. Sirdar describes it as lightweight, machine washable and irresistibly squishy. Ideal when you want satisfying progress without a heavy finished fabric.
Straightforward stocking stitch, garter stitch, rib and crochet all let the changing shades shine. Textured patterns add even more depth, while the chunky weight helps garments and accessories grow quickly.
The fibre blend, chunky construction and built-in colour sequence work together to create eye-catching projects with less stopping and joining.
The majority acrylic content keeps the yarn practical and supports machine-washable finished projects.
A touch of wool gives this Jewelspun range extra warmth for cosy autumn and winter makes.
Sirdar notes that one 200g ball can make a cosy hat and a generous coordinating snood. Exact requirements vary by pattern.

Before you begin: Yarn and tools are sold separately from each pattern. Make a tension square and follow the purchased pattern’s instructions, particularly where a design uses a different tool size from the yarn’s standard 6.5mm recommendation.
From soft sea-glass neutrals to saturated coral, ocean blue and magical multicolour blends, every shade develops its own stripe sequence as you stitch.

The standard yarn recommendation is 6.5mm for knitting and crochet. Choose the size specified by your pattern where it differs. For example, the Crystal Bag uses a 6mm hook and Sea Breeze also requires 5.5mm needles.

The colour changes along the strand, so stripes appear naturally as you knit or crochet. No separate ball is needed for each new shade.
Yes. Sirdar recommends 6.5mm needles or a 6.5mm hook for standard tension, although individual patterns may specify another size.
Stripe width depends on how much yarn each row or round uses. Sirdar notes that the stripes appear narrower in circular knitting than in a pieced design.
Every ball contains approximately 300m. The matching patterns above use 1 ball for the Sea Breeze Hat and 2 balls for each bag or scarf. Follow the exact pattern and size guide for other projects.
Yes. The colour sequence makes simple stitches look impressive, and the chunky weight grows quickly. The Strata Scarf and Crystal Bag patterns are both rated easy by Sirdar.
Not necessarily. Balls of the same shade can begin at different points in the stripe sequence. Compare the balls and unwind to a similar colour point if matched placement is important.
Machine wash on a wool cycle, wash dark colours separately, reshape while wet and dry flat. Do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean.
No. This listing is for one 200g ball in your selected shade. Patterns, knitting needles and crochet hooks are sold separately.
