Our take on the Encore Worsted Colorspun

Encore Worsted Colorspun is a 75% acrylic, 25% wool worsted yarn from Plymouth in 100 g skeins with 200 yd each. It is machine washable and tumble dryable, and the multi-color shades shift through several tones within a skein. The acrylic-wool blend makes it soft and durable enough for kids' clothes and afghans, and the yardage goes further than many worsted skeins of the same weight. Knitters rate it highly for easy care and value against pure-wool worsted yarns, though some find the acrylic content less warm and less breathable.

Questions and answers

Is Encore Worsted Colorspun good for baby clothes?
Yes. It is soft, machine washable and tumble dryable, which suits garments that get washed often. The acrylic-wool blend also holds up to wear.
What gauge does it knit at?
It works at 5 stitches to 1 inch on US 8 needles. That is a standard worsted gauge, so most worsted patterns will work.
How much yarn is in a skein?
Each skein is 100 g and 200 yd. That is enough yardage for a hat, a pair of mittens or part of a larger project.
Does it felt or shrink?
The acrylic content limits felting, and machine washing is part of its care. Tumble drying is allowed, but check your finished piece as it dries.
Is it warm enough for winter wear?
It is warm enough for everyday hats and sweaters, but pure wool is warmer. Some knitters find the acrylic blend less insulating in cold weather.
Can I mix Colorspun shades in one project?
Yes. The multi-color skeins are designed to add color, and they combine with solid Encore shades. Buy all the skeins you need at once to keep dye lots consistent.
Where is the Encore Worsted Colorspun cheapest?
At Michigan Fine Yarns, for $9.50, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Encore Worsted Colorspun?
