Wolles Yarn Creations Yarns
Wolles Yarn Creations Yarns Yarn This 6-ply sport/DK weight yarn gradually change colours creating a stunning effect. It’s 100% cotton and very soft and comes in whopping 100gm balls, with 292m (320 yds) on each. The yarn is made up of many single threads loosely plied together to reach a 8ply-AUS/sport/DK weight, so there won’t be the usual fluff that you normally get from thicker spun cottons, and this weight makes it great for kids projects.

The money that they make helps their children to obtain an education.
