Stylecraft is Special
It’s February and love is in the air!
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Check out our Special range
And fall in love with it too!
I fell in love with Stylecraft Special DK many years ago. It was, and still is, my yarn of choice for many projects, particularly blankets, cushion covers and bunting (more about that shortly). Those of you who are familiar with our upstairs yarn store at Stitch Station will have noticed the colourful filet crochet ‘heart’ blanket on the back of the cosy chair and a couple of cushions dotted around – all stash buster projects and predominantly Stylecraft Special DK.
Why do I love the Special range so much? 1) Colour, 2) choice, 3) soft handle, 4) naturally anti-pilling and 5) machine washable, all add up to making it one of the best 100% premium acrylic yarns on the market. What’s not to love about that!
‘Great Nannie-Annie’ taught me to crochet when I was 8 with a 4.5mm Milward crochet hook (which I still cherish) and some scratchy acrylic yarn (which I don’t miss at all). That was almost 50 years ago and many years before the Stylecraft brand was launched in 1989.
Since then, Stylecraft has grown into one of Britain’s favourite yarns and I’ve completed many crochet projects using my favourite Stylecraft Special DK yarn.
We’re proud to stock Special Aran, Baby, Chunky XL and, of course, DK here at Stitch Station and with over 50 shades of Special DK to choose from, you’re sure to find colourful inspiration for your next project.
During February you can also enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases of Stylecraft Special DK, making it even better value at under £2 per 100g ball. Grab it while you can!
Happy knitting and hooking!
