About The Yarn
Felici yarn is super soft, machine washable, self-striping yarn. Typically, this yarn is only available in sock yarn, but now they have worsted weight!!! I’m considered color incompetent. Even as an adult, I still have trouble matching my clothes, lol. This yarn does all the work for you. Just look at these bright crochet mittens. You can’t help but smile.
Felici yarn is a Superwash Merino at 19.5 microns (layman’s translation: super-duper soft) that will appease even the most sensitive of skin, while nylon lends strength and durability. Add machine washability, and you have the perfect yarn for any next-to-skin, everyday accessories, scarves, cowls, hats, or baby clothes. With the heavier weight, your projects will crochet up quicker than ever, leaving more opportunities to play with stripes of every color.
