How much yarn do I get and what gauge will it produce?

Each skein weighs 16 ounces (454 g) and gives roughly 812 yards (742 meters) of yarn, so the two-pack supplies ample yardage for a range of projects. The yarn is classified as a #4 Worsted (Medium), with recommended gauge and needle/hook sizes listed below.

• Ball size: 454 g / 16 oz, 742 m / 812 yd per skein

What projects is Caron One Pound best suited for?

This yarn’s weight, texture, and volume make it versatile for home décor, clothing, baby items, and small toys. Its softness and stitch definition perform well with cables, simple stockinette, or textured crochet stitches while being forgiving for beginners and advanced makers alike.

• Sweaters, cardigans and pullovers using worsted weight construction
• Afghans, throws and pillows where large yardage reduces joins
• Hats, scarves, mitts, and other accessories that need durable washability
• Amigurumi and craft projects that benefit from consistent gauge and colour

How do I care for finished items made with this yarn?

• Machine wash warm on gentle or regular cycle
• Tumble dry low or lay flat to finish for best shape retention
• Avoid ironing on high heat; use low heat or a pressing cloth if needed
• Colorfastness is suitable for typical laundering; launder similar colours together
