Review

Although it is labeled as Bulky, according to the knitting gauge, it is actually Super Bulky weight. It is only available at Michael’s. The variegated versions have a large distance between color changes, so you might not see a color change when using it to make a cat toy.  According to Michael’s website, “This yarn has Class 1 Oeko-Tex® certification. This means that all the materials and dyes have been tested rigorously in the most stringent conditions ensuring they don’t contain any irritants or allergens that might irritate the most sensitive skin.”
