Milford FAQs

What to make with metallic yarn

Metallic yarn can be used to add a shiny edge to scarves, jumpers and beanies, or woven throughout them to give your creation a subtle shine. Metallic yarn is also great for creating small accessories like keyring charms, amigurumi toys and coasters.

What to crochet with soft yarn

Milford soft yarn is 3-ply and ideal for creating comfortable garments like beanies, scarves, shawls and light blankets. For specific ideas check out our knitting and crochet projects.

Is soft yarn suitable for beginners?

Beginners should avoid highly textured, dark-coloured yarns as it is hard to see your stitches as you work. A smooth, slightly bulky yarn in a soft, light colour is ideal - fibre doesn't really matter, so go for animal, plant or synthetic - whichever you like the feel of best!
