This is very nice yarn. I am using this to create a crocheted baby Afghan. I am using a Boye size I (5.50mms) crochet hook. It is working up beautifully. This Yarn is machine washable and machine durable which is perfect for baby items. I will be looking for this type of yarn again! And remember that is 16 ounces of a size 4 yarn (1020 yards).
