Not all acrylic yarn is the same. Anthem is a soft, affordable yarn in 100% acrylic that's machine washable and dryable. It has a luscious feel and I loved working up the sample swatch. Great for that child's special blanket or a cozy oversized sweater. Cascade Anthem Yarn comes in bunches of awesome colors. Use this worsted weight yarn for everything from afghans to kids' clothes to sweaters, accessories and pillows!
