Wonderful yarn
I love Plymouth Encore yarn because it is washable, tough yet soft, and beautiful. I use this yarn for hats, scarves, and mittens. It also works up to a great afghan. It resists pilling and splitting.

I’ve been knitting 73 years both professionally and for personal pleasure. This is one of the best worsted weight yarns I have ever used. The colors are beautiful and the yarn is quality yarn. I highly recommend this.
It knitted up nicely, however, it is not soft at all. I knit a hat and wish it felt softer.
5 Stars
It’s a great, all purpose yarn, and I especially enjoy it when I can get different weights, although the worsted is my go-to yarn for baby blankets and baby things. I love that it does have wool in it but the acrylic component makes it very sturdy and new-mom easy care friendly. The color range is amazing.
I knit a lot of children's blankets and hats for charity. The Plymouth Encore works great for these projects. The hats use 1 skein and a blanket uses 3 skeins.
Iuse Plymouth Encore yarn quite often. The wool blend yarn gives me good stitch definition and a finished product that I am very happy with. There are three different choices of yarn which also gives you a large color choice. The yarn is reasonably priced so the total cost is not prohibitive.
Colorspun is a favorite for creating interesting and practical prayer shawls. The yarn is beautiful but practical for our ministry. It is imperative that the shawls are washable since they often go to folks who are unwell.
Beautiful yarn...an excellent color selection, my crochet hook glides in an out of the stitches...perfect for many projects...I have been buying this yarn for several years...a perfect go to yarn!
I love all Encore yarn. It is soft and warm. It is of excellent quality. I love working with it
