    About

    After finishing the first bear in this yarn I wanted to try again in a different colour because when all knit up it makes a really soft bear and super cuddly. The first time I really struggled with the yarn, it wasn’t the easiest but this was sooooo much easier so whether it was just that particular two balls I don’t know. It’s made me a lot happier and I think I’m going to try again with another colour again. I love this bear, it’s turned out super well.

        It’s so soft!! I highly recommended 😍. Yes, I use felt because I try to knit them and I just can’t but felt rules and I sew them on, thanks Michelle

      Polly is gorgeous Helen, what a sweetheart. My local wool shop has started stocking the new James Brett Chinchilla it's very similar to the Katia Polar but not quite as expensive. I've not tried it yet but It's only a matter of time.😃

        I’m in the process of knitting with Chinchilla, the black just slides off the needles, the white not so much.
        But the finish is a dream 💕
        Enjoy xxx

        @Pam S: Thanks for the info Pat, I'm definitely off black at the moment having just knit a kitten in James Brett Faux Fur. The knitting is bad enough but the making up really is a nightmare. 😮

      Polly is lovely,she has the sweetest face ever, the yarn is also lovely, really must find some to try. Were you using different colours? Sometimes that can make a huge difference to how a yarn knits.

        Ahhh yes, the blue was really tough but this cream was so easy, it’s been one of my favourite so far. I love this one.
