This construction gives the yarn excellent stitch definition, durability, and a lovely drape—perfect for projects meant to last. It works especially well for cables, textured stitches, and colorwork, and is versatile enough for garments, accessories, baby items, toys, and home projects. As a hand-dyed yarn, color can vary between skeins and dye lots. For best results, purchase enough yarn to complete your project and alternate skeins when working.
