Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are an informative yarn directory site only. Yarn cannot be purchased from this site. However, Yarndex lists many of the websites for yarn companies, and we recommend visiting those sites for a list of retail stores and internet stockists that carry their products.

This yarn knits up beautifully, and is smooth and comfortable against the skin. However, it does become a little fuzzy after washing; but no pilling so far. I've knitted socks, which I don't mind being somewhat fuzzy; I'll also knit up a couple of hats. After that, I'll decide whether I'll do a sweater.

I just finished a baby sweater in this yarn (a heathered medium purple). It's SO soft and knits up beautifully. Wasn't fuzzy after washing at all (but I handwashed it). Easy to knit with, and machine wash/dry is great for new parents!
