For one of the softest, most versatile DK-weight yarns we've seen in a long time, "Gems Sport" from Louet is a marvelous choice. Terrific when knitted up & crocheted into soft socks, cuddly baby outfits & warm yet lightweight sweaters, "Gems Sport" is a definite must-have yarn for your cool-weather garments & accessories. Add a tight twist to reduce pilling & add elasticity plus machine washability, and "Gems Sport" is a real "gem" of a choice. Available in generous 100-gram hanks for fewer tie-ins and a wonderful palette of solid hues. Beautifully crafted in South Africa of 100% merino wool.
