{"product_id":"sirdar-embers-dk-100g","title":"Sirdar Embers DK — 100g","description":"\u003cp\u003eSirdar Embers is a beautifully crafted colour-effect yarn developed especially for Sirdar, created by spinning coloured fibres into the solid main shade of this lightly brushed, wool blend double knitting yarn. The result is a subtle, rich depth of colour that catches the light and adds warmth and texture to every stitch — perfect for cosy knitwear, accessories, and home projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightly brushed finish gives finished projects a soft, tactile quality without sacrificing stitch definition, making it equally suited to cables, textured patterns, and simple stocking stitch where the yarn's colour does the work. Available in eight richly named colourways — Sparkler, Bonfire, Comet, Firework, Aurora, Afterglow, Lightning, and Starlight — each inspired by light and fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: DK (Double Knitting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall weight: 100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeterage: 335 metres \/ 366 yards approx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRRP: £6.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 colourways available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly brushed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour-effect construction — coloured fibres spun into solid main shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always refer to the ball band for washing instructions.

It is typically knitted on 4mm needles, though always check your pattern and work a tension swatch before starting a garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the fibre content?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSirdar Embers is 80% Acrylic and 20% Wool. The wool content gives warmth and a natural feel, while the acrylic ensures durability and easy care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the colour effect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour-effect is achieved by spinning coloured fibres directly into the solid main shade of the yarn during construction. This creates a subtle, multi-tonal depth of colour rather than a self-striping or variegated effect — the result is beautifully complex without being busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for crochet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — as a DK weight yarn with a consistent structure, Sirdar Embers works well for crochet as well as knitting. A 4mm hook is a good starting point, though check your pattern for the recommended hook size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many balls do I need for a sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard adult sweater in DK weight typically requires 8–14 balls depending on size and pattern. Check your specific Sirdar Embers pattern for exact yarn quantities, as the brushed texture and colour construction may affect meterage calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there patterns available for this yarn?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Sirdar has released a dedicated pattern collection for Embers including the Firefly V Neck Sweater, Candlelight Cardigan, Bright Spark Sweater, Kindling Raglan Sweater, Flicker Versatile Vest, Flare V Neck Cardigan, Flashpoint Zip Sweater, Glimmer Sideways Sweater, and Comet Roll Neck Sweater.
