Even the best yarns wear down with frequent use and machine washing – until now. Lion Brand created Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling for all your favorite projects that see a lot of wear and tear. Even before it is spun into a premium 4-ply acrylic, the fiber is treated to resist pilling. And, when pills do form (due to frequent use and washing), no need to pick them off – just throw the item in the washer and the pills disappear. But that’s not the only great thing about Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling. It is super soft, has great stitch definition, and comes in an extensive palette of solids, multi-colors, heathers and marls. This is the perfect yarn for those afghans the family loves to snuggle under on movie night, the scarf and hat you wear every day, and baby’s favorite blankie that gets dragged through the playground. 3 Skein Pack Weight: Medium (4) Contents: AcrylicSkein Weight: 3.5 oz. / 100 g Yardage: 185 yd. / 144 mKnitting Gauge:18 sts - 26 rows = 4" (10 cm)Crochet Gauge:16 sc - 18 rows = 4" (10 cm)Suggested Knitting Needle:5 mm, US - 8Suggested Crochet Hook:5 mm, US - H/8
