Patons Classic Wool Worsted Yarn
One hundred grams of wool, and the wash is by hand.
Classic Wool Worsted is a #4 ball of 100 g and 194 yards. Knit gauge is 20 stitches to 4 inches on 4.5 mm needles. The page price is $11.99. The fibre line says 100% wool, and it does not say which country grew it.
Patons is a Spinrite brand. The Listowel, Ontario factory closed on July 25, 2025. This page names no mill to take its place.
Garments, accessories, and home projects are the uses in the blurb. Lay the piece flat after a hand wash.
