You can watch my first impressions on receiving the baby yarn pack in the video above. I found the yarns to be a really good selection of colours that you could mix together really nicely. There wasn't, in my eyes, any odd colour that couldn't be used as sometimes you can get with yarn packs.
The Deramores Baby DK yarn pack comes with 8 balls and the ball shades include: Snow White, Ivory, Sky Blue, Denim Blue, Blossom Pink, Deramores Pink, Apple Green and Primrose Yellow. The pack sells for £22.99 (about $30) or you can buy the balls individually for £2.99 and you can buy them from outside the UK as well.
The great thing about Deramores is that they deliver really quickly. I have often ordered the day before and received my yarns the next day which, as an impatient crocheter and person in general he he, this is a blessing!
The yarns feel extremely soft and smooth to work with and don't smell chemically like you can find with some non-natural fibre yarns. The great thing about these yarns too is that they can be washed in a normal washing machine cycle at 40 degrees and even tumbled on a cool tumble. A god-send for any mum who knows how much washing a baby can get through!
Part two of my review includes a free crochet pattern tutorial for a newborn baby boy stripey beanie and I am in love with the blue shades mixed together. The written pattern is included below the video.
