How does this yarn behave when I knit or crochet with it?

Softee Baby is a light (DK/#3) weight yarn with an even strand and slight halo, producing defined stitches and a cosy drape. It blocks and relaxes well, making it suitable for garments and blankets that need structure without stiffness.

• Gauge knitting: 22 sts x 30 rows = 4" x 4" on 4 mm needles
• Gauge crochet: 7 sc x 8 rows = 4" x 4" on 8 mm (L-11) hook
• Ball length: 331 m (362 yds) per 140 g (5 oz) ball
• Consistent stitch definition for cables, lace, and simple textures

What care and safety features should I expect?

Bernat Softee Baby is made from 100% acrylic fibres that are intentionally formulated for easy home care and baby-safe handling. The yarn is Oeko‑Tex tested, meaning it has been screened for many regulated harmful substances used in textile production.

• Care: machine wash cool and dry flat; do not bleach, iron, or dry clean
• Safety: Oeko‑Tex tested for over 300 harmful substances
• Durability: acrylic resists pilling and retains colour through repeated washing

Which projects are best suited to this 3-pack in denim marl?

How much yarn will I need and how is it supplied?

The yarn’s uniform weight and length per ball simplify planning and reduce mid-project colour joins when using the same dye lot.
