Product Details

A fabulous worsted weight yarn, this is a great choice for any worsted pattern! The color palette includes classics, brights, jewels and marls - there are even candy-striped shades for Christmas! It knits up on US 8 (5mm) needles (H (5.00mm) hook) and is a dream for garments, accessories, afghans and other homeware - and great for children because it's washer and dryer friendly!

Not as easy to knit with pure cotton which feels sifter but great for dishcloths which I am gifting for Christmas.

The yarn works up beautifully, the only negative I would mention is that I’ve used other brands with this wool/acrylic ratio that were a little softer, a bit bouncier! Still, I would use it again, I love the many colour options!

Plymouth Encore Acrylic has been my favorite worsted acrylic yarn for a long time. It has good loft and is washable and dryable. I use it for baby blankets, afghans, etc. My recent purchase has been used to crochet an American Flag which has turned out beautifully. I once had a problem with this yarn which I used for an afghan. After I washed it, it pilled terribly. My local yarn store returned it to Plymouth and they replaced the yarn I used. Have never had any problems with their yarn since. I added a photo—still working on the 50 stars!

This yarn knits up beautifully however the end result is a little stiff does not feel luxurious. I like that it does not pill and it does machine was nicely.

Nice worsted feel, a bit hard but not scratchy. Just right for my sofa throws. Consistent yarn..

I love the fleck in this yarn, and a beautiful colour. This yarn has a slight hardness but isnt scratchy. Ideal for my sofa throws.
