About This Yarn
Sirdar Country Classic worsted is soft, merino wool blend in a large and versatile palette of flattering shades. Worsted is the favourite yarn weight of our American customers. A little heavier than double knitting it is ideal for year round knits with a little extra warmth.
What's it like to work with?
The pure merino blend is beautifully soft and comfortable to work and your stitches will glide over your needles. Experienced knitters will especially enjoy the excellent stitch definition and opportunity to showcase your skills in this weight.
What is it best for?
Worsted is a real all-rounder. Excellent stitch definition keeps intricate colour work and textured stitches clear and crisp. And because the soft, cosy merino is blended with acrylic, heavily textured larger knits remain wonderfully light and easy to wear.

5/5HandyMrsB Published Thursday, 18 April 2024 I had previously used the 4-ply version of this yarn and noted how good the stitch definition was, so ordered this for a cardigan with 2x2 rib, double moss stitch, and cable detail (Hayfield Bonus 10220). It is delightfully easy to work with - no splitting. I particularly appreciate the range of colours on offer. I definitely recommend this yarn and will use it again in future.
