Color Name: Almond

Amazon.com Product Description

Cozy up with an American-made bulky fiber that makes quick work of large projects like beautiful afghans, baby blankets, throws, and shawls. Consider smaller projects for hats, scarves, or fingerless gloves because of its oh-so-soft feel. The yarn consists of 100-percent organic cotton, grown and spun without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or other agrochemicals. Not only does it offer a consistency that handles well, but it also provides peace of mind for the finished piece and for the planet. Even more, the dyes used to create the color meet the Global Organic Textile Standards established by the Institute of Marketecology. As needed, hand wash completed projects in warm or cool water, then dry flat, not in a machine. The knitting gauge: 16 stitches by 21 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) on size 9 (5-1/2 mm) needles; the crochet gauge: 10 single crochets by 12 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) on a size J-10 (6 mm) hook. Available in a variety of shades, the skein of yarn supplies 103 yards (3 ounces/85 grams) and measures approximately 3 by 3 by 7-1/2 inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really nice yarn, June 24, 2009

I'm a beginning knitter, but this is already one of my favorite yarns to work with. It is soft and knits up beautifully. I've had several people remark how nice it was, then express surprise when I told them it was Lion Brand and made from organic cotton! The price is excellent for organic cotton yarn and I like that there are lots of colors to choose from. Great for scarves, small purses, clothing...just about any project you could want to use it for. I usually order 4-5 skeins at a time and they were all from the same dye lots when I received them from Amazon. I was making a scarf using Macadamia and had to mix dye lots (had 2 skeins from the yarn store) and I can't detect any variation in the knitting so far. Very pleased overall with this yarn and definitely recommend for anyone interested.

I knitted a long scarf and it's perfect. I'm not a great knitter but this is really easy to knit. The quality is obviously very good.
