- A 4 mm hook or needles are recommended.
- There are 8 variegated shades available for purchase in my online store.

My Observations
- Elegant luxury yarn is a thick and thin type yarn with lovely variations throughout.
- A lot of interest can be created with simple stitch patterns for this yarn and in my opinion look better than more complex stitches and stitch patterns.
- I found it very easy to crochet with and it pulls nicely from the centre of the ball.
- It is soft to the touch.
- The yarn did not split at all.
- I found that the finished item made with the Elegant yarn looked better after blocking.(see below pics)
You can find the above pattern for the Wingello Washcloth by Elizabeth Castle here. I have added a scalloped border.
