Soft & silky Uptown Worsted is a favorite amongst knitter & crocheters. Incredibly versatile, the yarn is wonderful for everything from baby blankets & garments to home décor & accessories. Spun with 100% premium acrylic, the yarn is anti-pilling & easy to care for. The plied, worsted weight yarn has beautiful stitch definition & is a comfortable weight for sweaters, cardigans, ponchos, hats, cowls & scarves. We also love this yarn for baby clothes, blankets & home decor. Such as pillows & throws. An extensive color palette provides plenty of options for every project!
