Gorgeous yarn
I’ve used Plymouth Encore for years and absolutely love it! I use it to crochet blankets (couch throws) and it’s wonderful. Super easy to work with and washable. (The colors are gorgeous as well). I use a size 10 hook.

I’m just starting my Afghan with this yarn. I love how soft this chunky yarn is. It is working up quickly in this Herringbone double crochet stitch.
I’m crocheting a blanket using a number 10 hook, it’s growing quickly and the wool is easy to handle and feels soft. Thank you to the Lovecraft team for putting the order together and for keeping your goods well stocked.
I love encore mega. I always want all the colors. Makes hats, ear warmers and fingerless gloves.
The texture was what I was wanting and it was affordable
Very nice and thick grey yarn. I found it very easy to use.
The yarn is of great quality. It will make up into a very warm blanket that will endure to the next generation.
Beautiful yarn, easy to work with
Amazing quality and beautiful colors!
