➤ From My Experience
This is an excellent yarn to carry together with other yarns when you want to improve the quality and durability of your knitting.
It is especially beautiful for sock knitting when used together with pure yarns. If you are knitting socks from natural fibers and want them to last longer, adding this polyester yarn can make them much more durable and resistant to wear.
It is also a wonderful reinforcing yarn with Dundaga. Carried together with Dundaga, it helps improve the durability of the socks while keeping the project lighter and more practical for everyday wear.
The same idea applies to many other garments and accessories: when you want to add polyester specifically to make your knitted piece more hard-wearing and lighter in weight, this yarn works beautifully.
