This self-striping yarn is perfect for all your crochet and knitting needs. With a beautiful blend of purples and blues, it's easy to "stripe" any project. The 100 gram ball size provides ample yarn, 306 yards, while the antipilling acrylic fiber content ensures the final product will look great for years to come. Whether you're making accessories like hats, gloves, or bags, or even crafting blankets and throws, this yarn is versatile and easy to work with. Get creative and let your imagination run wild with this beautiful and reliable yarn. Ice states a gauge of 26 stitches and 38 rows for this yarn, which is traditionally a sport weight gauge, and they suggest needles that I would suggest for a DK yarn. To top it off they put as a medium weight worsted. They've messed up a bit there on their website - it's definitely not worsted weight. Try your gauge for sport or DK projects though... I'm a loose knitter personally, so I know my gauge is different than most. This is a lovely yarn, wears well and the colors are fabulous!
