From shawls to sweaters to throws, this yarn can't be beat for softness and sheer touch-ability. With solids, heathers, and beautiful self-striping painterly colors, Homespun comes in gorgeous shades you'll love. Please note that some colors have long, slow color variations that cause them to subtly stripe. This is deliberate and adds to the beauty of the finished garment.3 Skein PackWeight: Bulky (5) Contents: 98% Acrylic, 2% Other Skein Skein Weight: 6 oz. / 170 g Yardage: 185 yd. / 169 m Knitting Gauge: 14 sts - 20 rows = 4" (10 cm)Crochet Gauge: 10 sc - 10 rows = 4" (10 cm) Suggested Knitting Needle: 6 mm, US - 10 Suggested Crochet Hook: 6.5 mm, US - K/10.5
