Our take on the 2 lb. Yarn Bag
This is a 2 lb bag of 100% acrylic worsted weight yarn, sold unbanded in a single color per bag. Acrylic worsted is the workhorse fiber for blankets, hats and charity projects: it is machine washable, holds its shape and resists moths, though it is less breathable than wool. The bag format suits high-volume knitters and crocheters who want one color in quantity rather than a range of skeins. Compared with banded skeins, you trade brand labeling and dye-lot information for bulk quantity in one color.
