Genie is a wool single, and it felts wonderfully. The loft in the yarn is prefect for trapping heat, making it a good choice for hats and mittens. Genie has a lovely luster which helps the color glow, so your knits get noticed. Try Genie for coasters, cozies or other felted projects that need to remain supple. The heavy Aran weight means your projects will work up quickly and easily, so Genie is the yarn to use when you need to finish a project in a hurry (keep a skein or two on hand for last-minute knitted gifts).
