PolarKnit is the first authentic fleece yarn for knitting and crochet. The yarn
is soft and cozy, knits up fast, dries quickly, and is super warm. Made with the
great outdoors in mind, the yarn provides 4 times the wind resistance of
traditional fleece. Its amazing comfort will keep you happy during a walk in the
park or a day on the slopes.
PolarKnit is now available in three weights,
Worsted,
Chunky and
Mega.

Show your love for your favorite craft with
PolarKnit YarnDots and
KeyDots.
YarnDots are adornments for your knitwear. They have a cute design on front and
a back that you work through chunky knitted or crocheted fabric. The concept is
the same as the little rubber pegs we put on Crocs shoes. (And these will fit on
Crocs too!)
KeyDots Key Covers help keep track of your keys with colorful
craft-related images.

StitchDots "talk" to knitters and crocheters with words and symbols on each
marker. Use the "Start" to identify the beginning of a row and "End" to do
the opposite. Use the RS and WS markers to point out the Right Side and Wrong
Side or your project and Inc and Dec markers to denote when its time to Increase
and Decrease. Other helpful markers include letters A, B, C, D, E and F. Each
StitchDots package includes 20 markers in a cool retro carrying pouch.
