Sirdar Crofter Review

 Sirdar Crofter double knit (light worsted is a quality yarn priced well. Very soft it was designed to create a Fair Isle effect in knitted jumpers and cardigans. 60% Acrylic and 25% Cotton a 50g ball gives a Yardage/metre of 170m/184y.

I’ve seen Crofter used in knitting to create that lovely Fair Isle look, but you can also use Crofter very effectively in crochet tops and jackets. When you use it for scarves, cushions or throws, Crofter will make a simple design look much more intricate than it really is.

Simple strips or motifs of double crochet Crofter looks very effective combined with other Sirdar yarns, such as Baby Bamboo and cottons. Crofter would be lovely used in a ripple pattern using plain colours contrasting or blending with the colours of the Crofter Fair Isle.

I used Crofter for my summer bag/work bag and I added strips of Sirdar Crofter in a blue/rust/brown blend in double crochet in between rows of Sirdar double knit (light worsted) Snuggly. To add interest and to tone in with it I used Sirdar Snuggly double knit in a rusty brown colour.

Sirdar Crofter comes in a range of colours with dyes that tone in with other Sirdar yarns. Choose from 21 colours including pinks, purples, heathers, oranges, grey, greens and a lovely pale sea grass.
