Three acrylic-based yarns from Ice

Baby Model from Ice Yarns.


Several weeks ago, these yarns from Ice Yarns in Turkey arrived. I ordered these in September and they arrived in November via regular mail. Yarn orders from Turkey to the Philippines via regular mail take about 2-3 months. Via EMS or UPS it would take only 5 to 10 days.

These yarns are (1) Antipilling Color, 100% antipilling acrylic, 100 grams, 250 meters; (2) Super Sock, 75% superwash wool, 25% polyamide, 100 grams, 400 meters; and (3) Baby Model, 90% acrylic, 10% polyamide, 100 grams, 330 meters.

Super Sock and AntiPilling Color.

The Baby Model has a lovely patterns when crocheted consisting of blocks of colour and spots. However, I would consider this yarn to be the least in terms of quality --- it is a bit rough and has an unattractive sheen. I am using this yarn to make bags, hairbands and home decor.

Amongst the three yarns, the Super Sock is the finest in terms of yarn weight and also the softest. This yarn would be most suitable for making garments.

The Antipilling Color is also quite soft and can make good garments and blankets.
