"The Superwash BFL/Corriedale blends - in both 4 ply and DK - are among our top choices for all-purpose yarns. These bases are not only wonderfully soft and squishy, but they also retain their bounce and definition even after repeated wear and washing. They are incredibly durable while maintaining that all-important "squish factor" that our customers love."
