How much yarn is in one skein?

16 oz, about 1,020 yards of worsted-weight (4) acrylic. That is enough for a typical full-size baby blanket or a simple adult sweater.

Is Pound of Love good for baby items?

Yes. It is soft, 100% acrylic, and machine wash and dry, which suits blankets and garments that get washed often. It is not organic or cotton, so it is warm rather than breathable.

How does it compare with Lion Brand's smaller skeins?

You get the same worsted acrylic in a much larger put-up, so fewer joins and a lower cost per yard. The trade-off is that a single ball is bulky to store and work from.

Can I machine wash and dry projects made with it?

Yes. Machine wash and machine dry; for best results use cool water and low heat to limit pilling.

What hook or needle size does it take?

It is worsted weight (category 4). Most crafters use a US I-9 (5.5 mm) hook or US 7–8 (4.5–5 mm) needles; check your pattern's gauge.

The best new price is $15.07 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026. Big-box craft stores often discount it during yarn sales, so compare across the three stores listing it.
