Lily Sugar'n Cream The Original Yarn
The cotton on this skein is grown in the United States.
Solids weigh 2.5 oz and run 109 metres. Ombres are the 2 oz ball. It is a #4 cotton, with a 4.5 mm knit needle on the gauge line. The page price is $3.99.
Lily Sugar'n Cream is a Spinrite yarn. The Listowel factory closed on July 25, 2025. The product heading calls the cotton 100% USA-grown, and it names no Canadian mill.
Dishcloths and afghans are the projects in the blurb. Wash colours apart, because some shades run.
