Its lived-in softness is full of quiet comfort, making this yarn a joy to knit, to hold, and to wear!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSketchbook Cotton is made with two unmercerized cottons: Mexican-grown cotton plus Supima cotton, an American-grown variety known for its extra-long, silky fibers. Spun in two velvety, undulating plies, this structure allows the yarn to bloom when it's machine-washed and dried, filling in and softening even more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery 50-gram ball has 150 yards of this light worsted\/DK-weight yarn.

If you purchased yarn from one of those lots, you may notice a difference when using with the tweed colors or newer balls. The issue has been resolved, and all future lots will be consistent.
