New Yarn

I always walk through the yarn aisle in Wal-Mart to see if they have anything marked down to use for my charity projects.  I  had read a post about a new yarn they had.  I did find it in a couple colors and bought a skein of purple to try.  The name is Mainstays and it is acrylic. It says use a size 9 needle but that would be way too large. It is a light worsted almost like a DK. It is scratchy and kind of a limp yarn.  It was cheap at $1.97 for 397 yards.  It was ok but not likely I would buy it again for the scratchiness and gauge it does not produce.  But if you are looking for a cheap yarn for something this would be the one to get.  It is distributed by Wal-Mart but made in you got it China.
