KnitPal Wool Wonders #4 Worsted Wool Yarn 4-Pack — Black Lava, 585 m, Soft Durable Blend

KnitPal Wool Wonders #4 Worsted Weight Wool Yarn is a soft, roving-textured wool/acrylic blend sold as a 4-skein pack (640 yards total) in the Black Lava colorway.

Wool Wonders combines 30% Australian wool with 70% acrylic in a single-ply construction designed to give clear stitch definition, comfortable drape and easy care. Each pack contains four 100 g skeins, 160 yards apiece, for a total of 640 yards—enough for medium-sized garments, accessories or baby items. This yarn sits at a #4 medium worsted/aran weight with a 10 wraps-per-inch (WPI) count and works well on US needle sizes 7–9 (4.5–5.5 mm) or crochet hooks I-9 to K-10.5 (5.5–6.5 mm).

How does this yarn behave when knitting or crocheting?

The single-ply, slightly roving texture yields crisp stitch definition with a natural, subtly rustic surface. It glides over needles and hooks without excessive splitting, letting textured stitches and cables stand out while still offering a soft hand.

• Single-ply construction for clear stitch edges
• Roving-like texture for a natural, handcrafted look
• Minimal pilling with the acrylic content for everyday wear
• Suitable for cables, colorwork, and textured patterns

What projects are best suited to a 4-skein, 640-yard pack?

The total yardage is ideal for accessories, baby garments, and lighter adult projects. Use the full pack for shawls, lightweight sweaters for smaller sizes, cosy cardigans, or several baby sets; you can also split skeins across multiple accessories.

• Baby blankets, booties, hats, and sweaters from included patterns
• Adult hats, scarves, mitts, and lightweight sweaters
• Layering pieces and textured accessories showing stitch definition
• Combining skeins for striped or gradient effects

How do I care for finished items made with Wool Wonders?

Because the yarn mixes Australian wool with acrylic, finished items balance softness with durability. Follow gentle care: hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in cool water and dry flat to maintain shape and texture.

• Hand wash or machine wash cold on gentle/delicate
• Use mild detergent designed for wool blends
• Lay flat to dry to prevent stretching and preserve drape
• Avoid high heat ironing; block gently when needed
