This beautiful softest wool is becoming a little bear beanie. Bellissimo is soft and breathable on babies heads. Perfection, no itchiness at all!
Beautiful to knit with Not finished yet Going to be a baby beanie soon
This is beautiful yarn. I crochet and knit and use this to make blankets and jumpers. It is soft and warm. It feels lovely on the needle or hook.
Love the wool, great to knit with.
Very soft easy to knit with. Machine washable. Arrived very quickly.
Looking forward to start my project. Just finishing off one then this is next
I do love this Bellissimo extra fine 8 ply and also the duck egg colour. It is perfect for my current project which is a jumper for my dear little 3 year old grandson. I have knitted the jumper in a lovely green in the same Bellissimo 8 ply for the bottom half and the duck egg blue for the top half. I am now embroidering a red and black tractor over the front of the jumper using duplicate stitch. So far so good!
I really like this wool - it knits up well and is soft enough for baby blankets and children’s wear. And I love this colour green - it looks particularly good in combination with the duck egg blue!
