This roving yarn has everything a knitter and crocheter could want: it is lightweight, has beautiful self striping colour ways with a subtle ombre effect, and is super soft. Each 85 gram cake has a generous 247m (270 yds), enough to make a scarf, or hat and wrister set. Just like a Ferris wheel, you will want to take this yarn around and around for all your favourite projects. 247m (270yds) and 85g (3oz). 100% Acrylic. Machine wash & dry. 3 balls/bag. Knitting: 20 sts x 20 r on #7 (4.5 mm). Crochet: 14 sc x 20 r on H-8 (5 mm). Remember to ALWAYS check tension/gauge before beginning your project.
