One of my favorite yarn brands, Spud & Chloe, has released a new yarn called Stripey Fine and they were kind enough to send some for me to review and share with you guys! It’s a superwash 80% wool/20% silk blend just like Spud & Chloe’s Fine yarn, which makes this a great yarn for shawls, baby knits and socks. The colors found in each of the 7 variegated Stripey Fine colorways are also colors you can find in their Fine yarn, so mixing stripes and solids in your knitting is really easy with these yarns.
Go to the bottom of this post for a yarn & pattern giveaway, and a coupon code for 50% off the Stripey Wristlet pattern featured throughout this post!

Having knit the Stripey Wristlets Spud & Chloe pattern in Stripey Fine for this post, I can tell you this yarn is really light and colorful and lovely to work with. The texture is really nice and springy without being too elastic. Stripey Fine’s sweet, dessert-inspired color combos made me really excited to knit baby coveralls or some spring-tastic socks. PS: Even though each hank is only 50g, I had enough yarn to knit the Wristlets and have as much yarn as you see in the ball in the picture above leftover. I might have to combine the leftovers with one of the solids that coordinate with it for my next project!

This yarn looks perfect for socks! I’d totally use the Neopolitan colorway for a pair, once I figure out that heel!

I would definitely knit the Stripey Wristlets as my first time ever wristlet project. Smitten with this yummy Orange & Cream color!

I’d make a pair of the wristlets for an office mate who can’t keep her hands warm when she types. Awfully pretty yarn!
I can’t wait to try a pair of socks out of Stripey Fine, especially since you said it has a nice springy texture!
I’ve been working on baby sweaters, this yarn would make an adorable sweater for a little one!
My daughter could use these wrist warmers!

I would make fingerless mitts. The yarn colors are gorgeous!
I’d make socks – probably a fairly simple pattern.
I’m a big fan of Spud & Chloe yarns, and I love this new addition to their lineup. It would be so great to work the Stripey in with a solid Fine for a simple triangle shawl.
I’d love to make kid’s socks out of it (I seriously think I could get 2-3 kid pairs from one skein!)
Love this colorway. The combo of yellow, orange, with that little touch of pink is adorable. I could use some fingerless mitts!

Beautiful. I would learn to knit socks!!?
I love the red/white/pink colorway and would make the cute mitts– perfect for drinking hot chocolate!
I would knit a toddler sized hat for my granddaughter. It looks like it would be fun to knit with and would look cute on her.
I really like using yarn that is stripey/variegated. This yarn even looks soft! Thank you for this giveaway :)
I forgot to say that I would like to try to knit these wristers and some yoga socks.
Stripey Wristlets!
I think the writers, I meant, wristers are a great non bulky alternative to fingerless mitts for…writing/typing/knitting…….
I love that rose and green color!
I’d make wrist warmers.
What great yarn! I’m already fantasizing about what I’d make with it. :)
Oh, so lovely! Mint Chip and Cherry Sundae are fine too.
I probably would knit some socks.

I would make more socks and I’m low on sock yarn. The colors are awesome
The wristlet are very cute! I think I would make a pair of those or perhaps a little headband for my niece or maybe my first attempt at socks…
