## Description

Even the best yarns wear down with frequent use and machine washing – until now. Lion brand created basic stitch anti-pilling for all your favourite projects that see a lot of wear and tear. Even before it is spun into a premium 4-ply acrylic, the fiber is treated to resist pilling. And, when pills do form (due to frequent use and washing), no need to pick them off – just throw the item in the washer and the pills disappear. But that’s not the only great thing about basic stitch anti-pilling. It is super soft, has great stitch definition, and comes in an extensive palette of 18 Solids, 12 multi-colours, 6 Heathers and 6 marls. This is the perfect yarn for those afghans the family loves to snuggle under on movie night, The scarf and hat you wear every day, and baby’s favourite blanket that gets dragged Through The playground.

**Q: How similar is this to the retired lion woolspun? i need to finish a woolspun blanket.**
A: This is very thin and with a velour texture.  It was used to crochet a small bumble bee.  I'm not familiar with the other yarn.
