Sensy Candy: Multicoloured Yarn, Soft Premium Acrylic DK, 100 g

What is Sensy Candy?

It is a multicoloured 100% premium acrylic DK weight yarn, made in Turkey. Its strand changes colour in sections, so as you knit or crochet, stripes gradually form and repeat throughout the whole piece. It comes in 100 g balls with approximately 230 metres.

It is designed for anyone who wants an eye-catching result without the hassle of colour changes, joining knots or loose ends to weave in. You simply knit or crochet, and the colour does the rest. It works equally well for knitting and crochet, and its soft feel makes it comfortable for garments worn next to the skin.

How do the stripes form when you knit or crochet with a multicoloured yarn?

Sensy Candy is dyed in sections: a sequence of colours runs along the strand and then starts again. As you knit or crochet, each section lasts for a number of rows and creates a stripe of colour. As the sequence repeats, the stripes repeat in the same shades and in the same order.

The width of the piece affects the final appearance. Here is what you can expect:

• ▷ On narrow pieces, such as a scarf, each section lasts for more rows and the stripes appear taller.
• ▷ On wider pieces, such as the body of a jumper or a blanket, the same section is used up more quickly and the stripes are narrower.
• ▷ If a garment has sections of different widths, such as the body and sleeves, the stripes will not be the same height on each part. This is completely normal and part of the charm of this type of yarn.
• ▷ If the garment requires several balls of multicoloured yarn, when starting a new one you can find the point in the colour sequence where the previous ball ended so the stripes continue in the same order.

What projects can I make with Sensy Candy?

It is suitable for garments and accessories where you want the colour to take centre stage. The brand itself recommends it for sweatshirts, jackets, shawls, hats, scarves, socks and blankets, as well as pet accessories. Its DK weight creates a lightweight fabric with a good balance of body and drape.

• ▷ Jackets, jumpers and sweatshirts with stripes, without changing balls.
• ▷ Quick, easy and eye-catching hats, scarves and shawls.
• ▷ Blankets and wraps for the cot or sofa.
• ▷ Baby and children’s garments, thanks to its Oeko-Tex Class I certification.
• ▷ Pet accessories, such as jumpers or small blankets.

It is a convenient option if you are just starting out: as it is a multicoloured acrylic yarn, any simple stitch, such as garter stitch, stocking stitch or double crochet, looks beautiful without the need for colourwork techniques.
