Sirdar Stories yarn was especially developed for fashion-conscious younger makers and the people who crochet their trend-led designs. Sirdar Stories Chunky extends their Stories family into fashionable quick knits. The cotton-blend (50% cotton/50% acrylic) keeps garments lighter so even your slouchiest fashionable makes keep their shape better.
This garment incorporates some circular knitting. Now becoming much more widely favoured in the UK it does mean there is less sewing up which is especially good in striped garment.
