Rico Creative Melange Chunky - Lush Grass 085

Lush Grass is a rather lovely clash of colour - cool turquoise meets warm, spicy cinnamon, with Rico's clever colour changes bringing the two together as you work. We love a yarn that does the colourwork for you, and Creative Melange Chunky gradually moves from one shade into the next, creating soft, shifting stripes without the faff of changing yarns.

Colour Changes Without the Fuss

This is the sort of yarn that makes even a simple pattern look like you've put in considerably more effort than you actually have. The colours unfold as you knit or crochet, creating a constantly changing fabric that's full of interest while keeping things pleasingly straightforward.

Creative Melange Chunky is a soft, chunky blend of 53% virgin wool and 47% acrylic, with 85 metres in each 50g ball. It's designed for 6-7mm knitting needles or crochet hooks, with a tension of 14 stitches and 19 rows to 10cm. Rico recommends it for clothing and accessories, including hats, scarves and ponchos, and it's equally tempting for cosy homewares and other chunky makes.

And there's something particularly satisfying about watching the next colour emerge as you work. One minute you're knitting away happily, the next you're thinking, "Ooh, look at that!" - which is pretty much exactly what we want from our yarn.
