Sirdar Jewelspun Ombre Midnight Blues

This gorgeous Sirdar Jewelspun Ombre in Midnight Blues (shade 106) is such a treat to work with – it's a wonderfully soft, squishy aran-weight yarn that's 100% acrylic and completely machine washable. Each 400g ball gives you a generous 1000 metres, and the beautiful ombre effect means every project you make will look completely unique depending on where you start and how you construct it. Working to a tension of 18 stitches and 24 rows over 10cm on 5mm needles, it creates a lovely lightweight fabric with gorgeous drape that's perfect for year-round garments. I always tell customers that simple stitches really let this ombre effect shine, whether you're knitting a jumper or crocheting accessories, and the fact that it's machine washable makes it brilliantly practical too.
