How the yarn behaves

Cotton with a thin elastic core, so the yarn stretches and snaps back like nothing else in the cotton aisle. Built for socks that grip the foot, fitted hats and headbands, baby garments that need to give, and any project that benefits from cotton's coolness but normally fails because of cotton's lack of memory. The elastic relaxes the yarn under tension, so it can look thinner on the needles than it knits up. Machine wash gentle and dry flat to protect the elastic core from heat damage.
