Testing out a mixed acrylic yarn

Testing out a mixed acrylic yarn
 Ayda is a Turkish yarn brand that I have in my shop, and on my last visit to the factory, I chose to test their “Fabrika” yarn. It is a variegated acrylic mix, amazingly attractive and pleasing to the eye. Now, I am quite reluctant to work with acrylic yarn because, if I am being honest, it’s not eco-friendly, it can be scratchy and less breathable than natural fibres. However, I opted for this brand because of the softness and of the yarn and its velvety feel. Plus, the colorwork was amazing in all the twisted hanks. 
 
I’ve been quite away from my blog, but as can be seen from the pictures, my time was spent prolifically. I used this brand for different projects – most of them  finished; there are shrugs, boleros, cardies and scarves. I cannot wait to show you guys what I’ve made so far! Stay tuned!
