  • Description
  • Reviews

Soft and bouncy, Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply is a versatile, superwash merino that is wonderful for cowls, scarves, shawls, and lightweight sweaters. It's perfect at a tighter gauge for garments and looks equally fabulous at a much looser gauge for shawls and other accessories.

Its name is absolutely correct - it's scrumptiously yummy! It has beautiful stitch definition in all types of stitches, particularly lace, and looks wonderful in stocking stitch too where you can really see the subtle flecks of colour shining through. Choose from gorgeous hand-dyed semi-solids through to amazing multi-coloured Babettes. 

  • 4ply/fingering weight
  • 100% superwash merino
  • 365m/400 yd per 110g skein
  • Needle/hook size: 2.25mm-3.75mm (or as suggested on the pattern)
  • Gauge: 24-32 sts per 10cm
  • Care: Gentle machine wash on a wool cycle. Dry flat.

Due to this being a hand-dyed yarn, we recommend alternating skeins particularly in garments.

But why is it called 2-Ply when it's a 4ply/fingering weight? Here, the 2-Ply refers to the number of strands that are twisted together to form the yarn and brings all sorts of wonderful properties to the finished fabric. You get:

  • Less pilling compared to single ply
  • A slightly textured, organic appearance to stocking stitch
  • Exquisite lace with holes that open up naturally
  • Defined cables that lie flat
  • A misty, watercolour effect in colourwork knitting, with soft edges between colours.

Looking for pattern ideas? Browse through Miss Babs' Project Gallery or pattern suggestions on Ravelry for more Yummy 2-Ply project ideas.

Deb is wearing the Fibre Fest Shawl by Stephen West in Hitchhiker's Birthday, Peace Lily and Flower Boxes.

Janine is trying on the Bridgerton sweater by Unwind Knitwear in Eternity and Devoted Idea.

Helen is wearing Manis by yamagara which uses a special coloured skein like Ziggy Stardust or Sequins and Fringes, paired with a fluffy yarn for the body (in this case Indiecita Baby Suri Silk Brushed). Lapis or Luminos Tee, both also designed by yamagara, are two other wonderful projects where a special variegated yarn is featured together with a plain yarn - try pairing Chocolate Roses with Parchment, or Almost Paradise with Echo.

Gorgeous Yarn

By: Hazel E on 11 October 2024
Great quality yarn with stunningly eye catching colour mixes and great stitch definition. Soft, non-scratchy and a pleasure to knit with. Definitely want to use this yarn again!!
