New Yarn - Bernat Lu Lu
I was at my local Walmart and saw a yarn by Bernat called Lu Lu. (Its
a very plush/fluffy yarn.) I thought I'd like to make a baby blanket out of it for my local chapter of Project Linus so I searched for some patterns that use this yarn. I can't find patterns nor is this yarn mentioned anywhere. (Not even on the Bernat site.) Has anyone heard of this yarn before or is it new? (Am I going nuts and only imagined this yarn exists???) I think Sirdar has a version of this yarn but I don't know what they call it. TIA |

Probably a new yarn. I remember that I found Boa (also by Bernat) in
Wal-Mart before it was on their website. Let us know if you find out anything else about it. How much was it? Katherine "Make Up" wrote in message om...

Dear Tia
I've just looked for Bernat Lu Lu on the web and from the picture I found it looks just like Sirdar's Snowflake which I am using at the moment for baby clothes. Treat it as double knitting wool and use 4 - 5 mm needles and it works up beautifully. Washes nicely too. It can take a little getting used to but I love the stuff.

I think Sirdar has a version of this yarn but I don't know what they call it. TIA It's a copy of Snowflake by Sirdar, and Patons has a similar yarn out this year called Pixie. I've knit with the Snowflake (chunky weight) , and I think for a baby blanket your best bet would be garter stitch. The yarn is so fluffy, you wouldn't really be able to see any kind of a pattern. Another easy one would be this: Use 5.5 mm needles. Cast on 72 stitches 1st row: Knit 2nd row: Purl continue with these two rows until work is 24" long or desired length, ending on a wrong side (purl) row. Cast off LOOSELY. I hope this helps and good luck!! Shelagh |

Just a "heads up". Snowflake comes in DK and Chunky weights. I'm not sure
about LuLu... I've only just squeezed it at Wal-Mart.(grin). BRBR Right - and the chunky is a lot easier to deal with! JCT |
