This is not your ordinary worsted yarn. It is a mix of cotton, silk, and acrylic - which makes it soft, smooth, and lightweight. The silk not only adds luster but it also makes the yarn smooth to work with (and feels great too!). This yarn can be used for various types of projects - from apparel like beanies or scarves to accents like spreads/afghans. This may also be considered for amigurumis and other accessories. Actual color may vary from uploaded image due to lighting and/or screen color calibration.
