Scarf knitting news
Scarves are a great way to update your wardrobe and change your look without spending too much money or time, and we’ve got an amazing selection of scarf yarns to choose from. Katia are the leaders in scarf yarns - choose from the fabulous colours of Ondas, Triana and Rizos, Rocio with its trim of mini pompoms (the first batch sold out in days – more due in January), or the lavish ruffles of Ronda.
Katia Aloha is a gorgeous loopy yarn which can either be knitted or just twisted into a scarf. Irina is a soft velvety yarn in rich colourways and Katia Velvet is a delicious thick, soft, chenille. Eyelash yarns have been given a classy new look with Katia Fur and Evita Merino, a sophisticated blend of pure wool with fur pompoms.
Sirdar Shaggy makes a fun scarf that lives up to its name, and Wendy Frills is a woolly version of Rizos for a big warm wrap. Tango Glitz from Woolcraft is a glittering version of Rizos. For a more traditional knitted scarf, check out superchunky Katia Sfera, Sirdar Bohemia and Big Bamboo.
