This yarn review and free Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern is a collaboration with American Yarns. Contains affiliate links.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m not a yarn snob, but there is something so luxurious about working with beautifully spun pure merino wool that makes every other yarn experience pale in comparison.<\/p>\n

As soon as I laid my hands on these deliciously squishy balls of DMC Woolly 5<\/a> yarn from American Yarns, I was in love<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Not only is it super soft and squishy, the colour range is just glorious.<\/p>\n

\"color<\/p>\n

Every colour is just so perfect, rich and vibrant, yet subtle at the same time. The whole range can mix-and-match effortlessly, making choosing colour combinations so easy.<\/p>\n

When I saw how beautiful all these yarn colours looked together, I knew I had to create a pattern that really showcased the colour range. I wanted to make a simple knitted baby blanket that was all about colour!<\/p>\n

Hence the name Hello Rainbow<\/strong>! Get the full pattern after my yarn review.<\/p>\n

\"easy<\/p>\n

You may be familiar with the DMC company for its range of embroidery threads, but it turns they also make yarn.<\/p>\n

In a slight departure from stocking only ‘American’ yarn brands. For the first time, American Yarns is dipping its toes into a more luxurious yarn range that they usually sell.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t consider this range super high-end, more like everyday luxury<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you are generally accustomed to knitting or crocheting exclusively with acrylic yarn, I would highly recommend you treat yourself to the pleasure that is DMC Woolly 5.<\/p>\n

This yarn is perfect for knitted garments, crochet blankets and anything that requires contact with skin. Did I mention it was soft. So, so, soft.<\/p>\n

I didn’t find any down sides except that it’s loosely plied and can sometimes split, but that was just a minor nit-pick.<\/p>\n

To be honest, after knitting with this yarn, I’m going to find it hard to go back to more ‘budget’ ranges.<\/p>\n

Currently on sale for around $7.99 a ball, it’s actually quite affordable. But be quick, I’ve been told that supplies are limited at that price.<\/p>\n
