It has the same lovely blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic creating a soft, muted yarn, perfect for spring and summer hand knits. Rather than being space-dyed, Summer Stripes is a shaded yarn creating big blocks of colours, with random patterning meaning each piece you knit will be unique.

Reflection Angoragold Batik with Metallic DK by Creative YarnsReflection Angoragold Batik with Metallic DK by Creative Yarns
Unfortunately the company who supply us with this yarn are no longer trading, so when it's gone, it's gone I'm afraid. We still have stocks of all the shades shown and we'll try and keep the website up to date as we sell out of shades.
This is a fantastic double knitting yarn with a light, soft, hairy feel spun from 10% mohair, 10% wool, 75% acrylic and 5% metallic. Fine mohair yarns are brilliant because although they knit as double knitting, they have the meterage of a much finer yarn (nearer a 3ply), so you only need a couple of balls for a garment! Reflection is a shaded yarn that gradually changes from one colour to another throughout you project, so you get a subtle and interesting effect without any effort. This metallic version has a fine twinkly thread running through it to add a bit of bling to your knitwear! Knit to the exclusive Creative Yarns designs or to any DK pattern, but check your tension first.
