I have used Plymouth Encore Worsted and DK yarns for many years. I love working with them. The garments I make turn out beautiful, and washing them afterwards is very easy.
Lovely yarn. Reasonably priced. A quality washable acrylic with 25% wool. Love the variety of colors. Will buy again.
I really like the blend of this yarn - it's great for baby items because new mom's can easily take care of the blanket or sweater. Knits up nicely - textures are especially good use with this yarn.
Love Encore & LoveCrafts
I am using this skein in a multi-color striped textured baby blanket. I love the hand feel of the yarn the softness of the knitted area. The color is lovely. I really like having some wool in the blend yet having it easy to take care of.
This yarn is easy to knit with and works up to gauge. It looks good and washes well and holds it shape. I have a go to sweater that I have worn to death and it keeps on going no matter what. I knit a backup in the same yarn thinking it was time for a new one but the old one is still going strong!
The wool and acrylic combination give a nice twist to the yarn!
Great product with durability. Knits and crochets with good stitch definition. anything that needs laundry without fear of shrinking this yarn is one of the batter quality mixes.
Knits up quickly. Washed and dried on delicate cycle without blocking and retained shape. Wish it were a bit softer.
Easy-to-use website with so many options available
This yarn is my go-to for afghans, hats and other items that will get lots of active use. It knits and crochets easily and holds its shape after washing.
