Its natural insulating properties provide warmth without excessive weight, while its beautiful drape makes it especially well suited for garments and accessories.

Please Note

Because Paca-Paints Yarn is hand-dyed, colors may vary slightly from skein to skein. If your project requires more than one skein, alternating skeins every few rows can help blend these natural variations.
