This lovely singles yarn is super soft and smooth. The yarn takes the dye well, colours appear bright, and 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 also work for sweaters, but high-friction 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.
