Rocket
A word from the designer:
Knit a baby blanket in a fun print with just one super ball of Katia Rocket of 400 grams. Enjoy an exquisite 100% acrylic double-twist yarn where we print the base strand instead of the resulting yarn. This way, we achieve a multicolor explosion by combining the different strands. This process also reduces pilling as much as possible. Enjoy knitting a flattering cropped women’s sweater with one megaball of anti-pilling Katia Rocket yarn.

Our Opinion
This ball of yarn is huge! You can make an entire blanket out of 1 ball, but I opted to make a hat, cowl and mittens as a matching set. I have some leftovers to work with. Maybe another hat!
This yarn is super soft and easy to knit with. The mix of colours is pleasing and the stitch definition is great. I used a few different stitches to showcase this.
Plus it's really fun to work with such a large ball of yarn!
