I bought this yarn from a specialty yarn store in Minnesota, called "all about YARN" for $8 per skein.
It is 75% Acrylic and 25% Wool and it is made in Turkey.
It is machine washable and dryable.
The neat thing about this yarn is that when you make socks or mittens, it makes a pattern like some of the socks made in Nordic lands.
I had hoped that since I bought two skeins that both socks would have been more of a match with the patterns but that was not the case. Another disappointment was finding the yarn was broken in one skein and had a sloppy knot in the second one.
On the positive side, this yarn was incredibly easy to work with and very fun to watch the pattern as it developed in my work. It really made the knitting seem to go faster. I would recommend this yarn especially for beginners. It is easy to unravel or back up stitches as well as to pick up dropped stitches or correct mistakes. This would be a perfect yarn for practicing those skills.
For long socks, these are pretty cute! I made them for my youngest daughter who said while modeling them here, "Hurry up! These are hot!" It was warm here last night, I am just hoping they are nice and toasty cozy in the winter time for her.
Thank you for stopping by.
