I actually get the right guage for the pattern with this yarn. That’s so nice! It knits well, doesn’t split or catch on needles and looks great.
Elysian 6 is the same blend of superwash Merino wool and acrylic, just like our classic Elysian yarn, but in a thicker Aran-weight. Dubbed “Elysian” from its heavenly or divine characteristics, this incredibly soft and machine washable yarn is available in our most popular classic Elysian colors. Use Elysian 6 for a multitude of knitting projects from snuggly blankets, accessories and stylish sweaters.

I purchased this yarn specifically for knitting a crib size baby blanket for an expected grandchild. The weight knits up quickly and stitch definition is good. The color in chamomile coordinates with the nursery color scheme and is gender neutral. Like that it has natural merino wool but is machine washable too. Photo shows blanket in progress but getting close to completion.
Elysian 6 is a fun, springy, bouncy superwash merino blend. It doesn’t snag or split and has great stitch definition. It’s on the thick side of worsted - projects work up quick. Great price! Ordered a bunch more.
This is a great yarn, especially for knitting for children. You get that smooth, cozy merino feel with the functionality of acrylic. The yarn also has great stitch definition and would be great for cables.
Good weight and hand feel, nice stitch definition. WIP of blanket for new grandbaby due in spring.
I am using this yarn to make a lovely baby blanket. It is soft, with lovely stitch definition, and the four colors I purchased are gorgeous.
Soft, smooth, round yarn that holds up well. Lovely colors. I used it for a baby blanket.
Beautiful yarn. I bought this on sale, and went back for more in all the colors. Made a lovely, elegant baby blanket.
Yarn is a beautiful color. Using this for a cardigan. Yarn is soft & squishy in stockinette stitch on size 10 1/2 needles.
I've used this yarn for years and never let me down. Great colors, yardage and nice to work with.
