Encore is my go-to yarn for everything that gets a lot of use and needs machine wash and dry - children's sweaters and hats, as well as afgans and pillow covers. It is wonderfully soft and not at all scratchy (something my grandson will not tolerate). The colors are vast and versatile. I have used both chunky and worsted weight. Both have been very successful!

Encore has changed somewhat....i could notice the acrylic
wishing the quality hadn't changed somewhat, because Encore has always been my go to kids yarn that didn't lock or feel cheap and acrylic....now some of the colors do show the acrylic...Read complete review

Comments about 4.19 Encore:
I bought this to make a sweater for my new grandson. I have purchased and used Plymouth yarn many times in the past but this was a total disappointment. This yarn is
rough and scratchy and I don't think it is suitable for children's garments. The colors were not as vibrant as I had hoped, but that is a risk one takes ordering on line. I will probably just toss this stuff as it is not nice enough to donate or use for charity knitting.

Comments about 4.19 Encore:
I knew what yarn I wanted and what color but my yarn shop but they only had two skeins and I needed 8. The lady said due to the ordering schedule, it would be approximately 3 weeks before they would have more yarn. This would not be enough time to make the baby blanket for the shower. She told me to check with your website (my first visit). Not only did I save over $10, I received the yarn in two days! Thank you very much and I will be ordering yarn from you again.

Yardage counter great for measuring the amount of yarn left in a skein of yarn...( tough to find though).I do several projects at one time so in each bag I have a gauge "knit chek" I always check my needle sizes and my knitting gauge before i start a project
