Quick-knit texture with a touch of wool

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.

  • Warm without feeling overly heavy
  • Automatic colour transitions
  • Excellent for simple texture
  • Knitting and crochet friendly

Jewelspun With Wool Chunky FAQs

Is Jewelspun With Wool a wool yarn?

It is a wool blend: 80% acrylic and 20% wool. The wool adds warmth, while the majority acrylic content keeps it practical and easy care.

What does self-striping mean?

The colour changes along the strand, so stripes appear naturally as you knit or crochet. No separate ball is needed for each new shade.

Can I knit and crochet with it?

Yes. Sirdar recommends 6.5mm needles or a 6.5mm hook for standard tension, although individual patterns may specify another size.

How do the stripes change between projects?

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.

How many balls will I need?

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.

Is it suitable for beginners?

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.

Will two balls begin with the same colour?

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.

How should I wash the finished project?

Machine wash on a wool cycle, wash dark colours separately, reshape while wet and dry flat. Do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean.

Are a pattern and tools included?

No. This listing is for one 200g ball in your selected shade. Patterns, knitting needles and crochet hooks are sold separately.
