Knit Picks Mighty Stitch Worsted Weight Yarn Pack - Easy-Care Eggplant

In this review of the Knit Picks Mighty Stitch worsted weight yarn pack, the bottom line is simple: this 10-skein Eggplant bundle is ideal for knitters and crocheters who want a lot of rich, uniform color with easy-care convenience. The reviewer found the blend of 20% superwash wool and 80% acrylic delivers pleasant softness and machine-washable durability, making it a practical choice for garments, accessories, and blankets where washability matters. The pack size and consistent yardage also make planning larger projects straightforward.

Key Features

• 10-skein pack: Provides a generous 2,080 yards total so you can complete medium to large projects without color breaks or dye lot hunting.
• Superwash wool blend: The 20% superwash wool mixed with 80% acrylic gives a yarn that has warmth and loft while remaining easy to machine wash and tumble dry on low.
• Worsted weight versatility: Recommended knit gauge of 4.5-5 sts per in on #6-9 needles suits sweaters, hats, and blankets with predictable drape and stitch definition.
• Consistent skein size: Each 100 g skein yields 208 yards, streamlining pattern calculations and reducing the need to rework yardage estimates.
• Eggplant color: A deep royal purple with cool blue undertones that reads rich and even across multiple skeins for cohesive finished pieces.

Who It's For

This yarn pack is best for home knitters and crocheters planning medium to large projects who want an easy-care finished item. Because it is a worsted weight with washable properties, it suits makers making garments and blankets that need to withstand regular laundering.

Less suitable are people seeking 100% natural fibers or those who require very fine laceweight yarns; for pure wool blockers or high-heat care, a non-superwash natural fiber would be a better choice. Also, those wanting highly textured novelty yarns should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft hand and pleasant stitch feel, often described by customers as silky when knitting.

• Large 10-skein quantity with uniform color and yardage simplifies large projects and matching.
• Worsted weight is versatile for a wide range of patterns and hooks/needles.
