Orlec 8/2 Yarn
Orlec Acrylic yarn is ideal weft for crimp cloth and so much more! It is the weft that Diane Totten recommends for her crimp cloth. This durable 100% acrylic yarn is also soft enough for lovely baby blankets that can get washed over and over again. Or make durable placemats that will last for years, and the colors will stay bright through all those washings.
