Just like its sister yarn, the shades are created by heavily blending several colours together which gives them their richly tweeded effect. This yarn can be used in combination with Stylecraft's other Aran weight yarns. Take a walk on the wild side with Stylecraft's new sock yarn Walking in Nature designed by Stuart Hillard. This sock yarn is just beautiful and features an unusual cream background for all the colours, which we think gives them a whole new appeal. Head Over Heels has been specially developed to be durable enough for socks, but also fine and light enough for knitters and crocheters who like to make shawls.

This yarn offers a beautifully blended, tweeded effect due to the combination of several colors.
