Encore

Encore

One of the store's most popular value yarns for knitting kids sweaters and afghans, Encore is 75% acrylic and 25% wool and knits at 5 sts/in on US 8 or 9. It is machine washable and still a good value even after this summer's recent price increase. Each ball has 200 yds. Also available in a bulky weight, a d.k. weight, and as a Tweed. Even a variegated version called "Colorspun" that knits up in a gently striping pattern. The latest is a heavy tweed called Coffee Beenz.

Also, if you're looking for some variegated colors that are less "baby" in colorways, check out Pacific Multi by Cascade, another acrylic/wool blend that is machine washable.
