Pallette DK is a 50 gram ball made of 70% acrylic and 30% wool. This yarn was made in Switzerland. Gauge is on 4 mm needles, but the actual gauge is not listed on the label. This yarn is sort of a 'thick and thin' twist and is 2 ply. Colors listed are the main color of the balls; however, all colors have more colors interspersed which will give an interesting effect to the finished project. For instance, the black yarn has spots of orange, yellow, green and grey intertwined in the black. This yarn is very soft and would be beautiful in a sweater or shawl.
