About the Yarns
The Sunday Knits 3-ply yarns and Spincycle Dyed in the Wool are smooth, worsted-spun, heavy fingering to light sport weight yarns. All of these yarns will develop a slight halo with washing and wear, which makes them a great choice for colourwork. When choosing yarns for your project, look for soft, plied wool or wool blends with a bit of memory or spring to them.
