This lovely singles yarn is super soft and smooth. The yarn takes the dye really nicely, and colours appear bright, speckles spread a little, but they look great on this construction. Due to this being a singles yarn, care needs to be taken during dyeing to reduce pilling.
This works as a lovely yarn for hats and accessories, it will work for sweaters too, but high rub areas may pill, this can be offset by either pairing it with another yarn, or using stitch patterns such as moss stitch which pop on this fabric.
