Playful is a soft, bouncy yarn with fantastic stitch definition and a matte look.

Playful takes dye really nicely, making for a beautiful yarn that is good for many different projects.

Of course, socks are a great choice, because Playful is smooth with a firm twist, so your socks will last for a long time.

But the superwash merino makes this yarn also wonderful for baby and children’s clothing, sweaters, and gloves or hats.

Playful has fantastic stitch definition, so textured stitches and cables look lovely; this yarn is great for showing off your skills.

A note about skein sizing: Self-Striping skeins are available in Classic (100 grams, standard striping repeats) and Jumbo (150 grams, long-repeat stripes). To stash a Classic skein, enter 1 skein. To stash a Jumbo skein, enter 1.5 skeins. See KnitterlyAnne’s scarves in Classic and Jumbo skeins for the difference in stripes.
