Perfect yarn when knitting for kids
I used Encore to knit twin-size afghans for my three grandkids. Patterns show up great and there are many cool colors to choose from.

be careful of color
Bought to make afgan for wedding gift, color way off so do not know what I will use all the yarn for. Just do not count on needing it to be the color shown ...Read complete review
Bought to make afgan for wedding gift, color way off so do not know what I will use all the yarn for. Just do not count on needing it to be the color shown when you need a lot of the same color and same dye lot, it looked creamy and said it was vanilla then turned out to be yellow. I would recommend it just as a yarn.

I love Plymouth Encore. Soft but strong texture and uniform from skein to skein. Whenever I want to use a machine washable yarn, I always come back to Encore.

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Encore:
When I need a yarn to make items with easy care, I turn to Encore for its washability, durability and content. It's especially good for knitted gifts when the recipient isn't likely to want to hand wash items. It's soft for its content, but after some thought, I did give it 4 stars only because I know there are softer yarns out there. Still in all, I highly recommend the yarn.

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Encore:
I am making an afghan with this yarn in two different colorways grey and honeydew. It's coming out beautifully and is a great match for draperies in the room. Will definitely purchase again when making another afghan. Rated it 4 stars due to the splitting.

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Encore:
Encore is my go to yarn when knitting for babies and children. It is easy to knit, stands up to hard use and many trips through the washing machine and dryer. There are a wide array of colors from which to choose and I have always been able to find what I need in the choices offered. I love knitting with wool, but when you need a yarn that is easy care, soft to wear, and comes in many colors, Encore is "wooly" enough for me!
Service and delivery comments:
WEBS is a great place to get my yarns! Great prices, wonderful selection, speedy service. I have never had a problem with my orders and I order frequently.
