Lightweight & colorful, Carousel is a blend of superwash wool & acrylic that is wonderful for all season garments & accessories. We especially love knit & crochet wraps, scarves & cowls in the yarn. The fine gauge of the yarn coupled with the painterly colors allows the yarn to really shine. Even simple lace & stockinette patterns look fabulous as the yarn creates a marled, free-flowing, patterned fabric. Have fun knitting & crocheting unique, attention-grabbing pieces in one of the jewel multi tones.
