‘Elegant’ Luxury 8ply Yarn Review

elegant luxury yarn review

Elegant luxury yarn is an 8ply beautiful varied mix yarn made in Turkey.

It comes in 50g balls with 120m per ball.
36% superwash merino, 28% cotton, 18% bamboo and 18% linen.
A 4 mm hook or needles are recommended.
There are 8 variegated shades available for purchase in my online store.
The label recommends a warm machine wash to 30°c.
It is labelled as a number 3 weight yarn which is equivalent to an 8ply or dk weight.

You can find the above pattern for the Wingello Washcloth by Elizabeth Castle here. I have added a scalloped border.

Elegant luxury yarn is a thick and thin type yarn with lovely variations throughout.
A lot of interest can be created with simple stitch patterns for this yarn and in my opinion look better than more complex stitches and stitch patterns.
I found it very easy to crochet with and it pulls nicely from the centre of the ball.
It is soft to the touch.
The yarn did not split at all.
I found that the finished item made with the Elegant yarn looked better after blocking.(see above pics)
