Is Yarn Citizen Unity Worsted soft enough for projects worn next to the skin, like scarves or sweaters?

Absolutely! Even though Unity Worsted is a 100% wool yarn and non-superwash, customer reviews rave about its natural softness and next-to-skin comfort. This worsted weight wool yarn feels cozy and gentle, making it perfect for scarves, hats, and sweaters without the itch you might expect from some wools. Many knitters choose it specifically for wearable projects that touch delicate skin.

How do I care for Unity Worsted yarn projects to keep them looking great?

Unity Worsted is a sustainable, non-superwash wool yarn, which means it's not treated with harsh chemicals and deserves gentle care. To keep your handmade pieces beautiful, simply hand wash them in cool water, using a mild wool-safe soap, and lay flat to dry. This preserves the yarn’s natural qualities and helps your sweaters, hats, and scarves last for years. Avoid machine washing or drying, as it could cause felting or shrinkage.

What makes Unity Worsted a sustainable and eco-friendly yarn choice?

Yarn Citizen Unity Worsted is made from 100% non-superwash wool, which means no synthetic coatings or harsh processing—better for you and the environment. The yarn is fair trade sourced, supporting ethical practices and communities, and its durability means your finished projects will last longer, reducing waste. If you’re looking for a sustainable yarn that’s affordable and eco-conscious, Unity Worsted is a smart buy.

What types of projects is Unity Worsted best for, and what needles do I need?

This worsted weight wool yarn is wonderfully versatile! It’s perfect for cozy sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens, and even blankets. The recommended needle size is US 7-9 (4.5-5.5mm), which gives you a classic worsted gauge of 19-20 stitches per 4 inches. Because it’s durable yet soft, Unity Worsted holds up for everyday wear and makes great gifts, too. If you’re new to wool or want a reliable yarn for your next big project, you’ll love working with it.
