This yarn was the perfect Blue. I was in search for the right colors and this one is a nice bright blue. The yarn is worsted weight 4. It's really easy to use. The only problem with acrylic yarns is after a couple hours they do bother my hands, I have sensitive skin so I often have to take breaks. The yarn is 7 oz which was more than enough yarn for the project I use it for. I do tight stitches and I have enough yarn to do 2 more projects with it. I've used other yarn brands and Red Heart yarns have always met my expectations every time.
