Florafil™ is a premium beautiful soft bulky multi-colored cotton hand-knitting yarn with the softness of roving and the
strength of conventional ring-spun cotton. We suggest that for
the best results you treat this as you would a hand painted yarn
and alternate the skeins every few rows when using more than
one skein of yarn in your project. To assure an overall blended
effect, knit with two hanks, working 2-4 rows from each.
