UNIVERSAL Uptown DK is a soft, anti-pilling acrylic yarn made for dependable everyday knits, from sweaters and hats to blankets and baby projects. This 100 g (3.5 oz) ball in Pale Orchid includes about 250 m (273 yd) of DK weight yarn that works up smoothly and pairs well with Uptown DK Colours for stripes. Machine wash cold and tumble dry low for easy care, and always swatch to confirm gauge before starting fitted pieces.
