Product description:
"Orlec" is a machine washable 100% Acrylic yarn made by Maurice Brassard of Quebec, Canada
This is a cost effective synthetic yarn designed to have a cotton like texture and appearance. Has excellent strength and durability. It is stain resistant so would be a good choice for items that may require frequent washing like baby blankets and placemats. Not such a good choice for dish towels etc as It is not particularly absorbent. Soft enough for a lovely baby blanket that could be washed over and over again in the washing machine.
