Playing with<br />
cables using<br />
Cutie Pie<br />
yarns<br />
The chenille fuzziness of Cutie Pie yarn also<br />
means that all your stitches look even. All the<br />
stitches look smooth together rather than<br />
individual stitches being accentuated. If you’re<br />
looking for something to do color work in,<br />
this yarn would be great. If you’re looking for<br />
something to clearly define some cable work<br />
or a textured stitch, I would try something like<br />
Red Heart’s With Love yarn.<br />
The swatch above is made with the colors<br />
Indigo and Cotton. While you can see the<br />
color work perfectly, it is more difficult to<br />
make out individual stitches. I think it makes<br />
any stranded knitting really pop and look<br />
much more realistic. When you’re knitting an<br />
intricate design, it sometimes looks pixelated.<br />
The velvet texture of Cutie Pie yarn makes the<br />
design slightly softer and adds depth to the<br />
picture you’re trying to create.<br />
Cutie Pie is made with 100% polyester and<br />
washing instructions are machine wash warm,<br />
gentle cycle; tumble dry low. It’s the perfect<br />
yarn for baby knits with the ease of washing<br />
and the extreme softness. I tied a couple<br />
knots into my knitting to see if I could make it<br />
uncomfortable but the yarn is just so soft you<br />
can’t even feel where the knots are.<br />
Red Heart’s Cutie Pie yarn is a fantastic yarn<br />
for all things baby, but don’t stop there.<br />
Any garment that is worn close to the skin<br />
would lend itself well to this yarn. Soft,<br />
warm cowls and luxurious slippers would be<br />
particularly coveted.<br />
