The mini box this month contained 3 balls of Stylecraft ReCreate. Two balls in shade ‘Rose’ and the third in ‘Ecru’. This is a 100% recycled yarn and has a blend of 40% wool, 30% acrylic and 30% polyester. Each ball contains approx 350 metres and is a DK weight. This yarn is lovely and soft and can be machine washed on 30°C and can even be put in the tumble drier on a cool setting.
Subscribers also found a very handy electronic stitch counter. These are so useful, just click the button at the end of each row to keep count. The stitch counters have a fantastic little memory too, they’ll automatically switch off after a while but will remember your count for weeks down the line. You just then click the reset button to start again!
The mini box doesn’t contain any patterns but I have put together a list of patterns that would be perfect for the yarn. This list comprises of both knitting and crochet patterns which are just a suggestion as to what you could make. Use these ideas as a springboard for your own. I would love to see what you come up with. You can also see all of these over on our Pinterest Board here
