Caron One Pound Yarn
Four scarves from one skein, if you follow the page.
One Pound is 453.6 g of acrylic and 812 yards, a #4 worsted. Knit gauge is 16 stitches to 4 inches on 5 mm needles. The page price is $14.99. That scarf line is the maker claim, not a lab test.
Caron is a Spinrite brand. Listowel production ended on July 25, 2025. The skein page never names the plant that makes it now.
It can go in the washer on cool and in a delicate dryer. Bleach, iron, and dry cleaning are ruled out.
