Very soft, colour true to picture. Using for cuddly toys. Would be good for afghans and shawls.

Wonderful for easy prayer shawls
I have been using this yarn to make prayer shawls. The colours are wonderful. The texture adds interest to plain garter stitch. The fact that the yarn can be machine washed and dried makes it the perfect yarn for easy care. The resulting shawl / blanket is warm, lightweight and always well received.
