How the yarn behaves

Vegan nylon/acrylic DK from the Cherub family — same soft hand as Cherub Aran, scaled down. Practical for hard-wearing babywear, kids' garments, and projects where wool isn't an option. Stitch definition is decent for an acrylic blend; drape is light without becoming limp. Doesn't insulate as much as wool at the same weight, but holds up well to repeated washing — pilling is minimal compared with pure acrylics. Machine washable; dry on low heat or flat to keep the soft surface and shape.
