Love the encore yarn - acrylic and wool mix makes it warm but not to warm and the price is hard to beat!

Not my first rodeo
This was actually my 2nd purchase of Encore; I used it to make a Weekender that I absolutely LOVE! This purchase was for a colorwork sweater for my son. The wool component will keep him warm, while the acrylic side of it will keep me sane. (We don't talk about what he did to the 100% wool all-over cable sweater. Sigh.) The colors are perfect and will show off the design so well! I'll definitely be back for more; I love to knit with Encore!
