Benjamin Franklin

This yarn is called Benjamin Franklin because it’s a dark green colour with a hint of gold in it, which makes me think of money. It’s all about the Benjamins.
Stats!
Fibre content: 60% cotton, 20% wool, 20% nylon. I think the nylon is only at the cuffs (which I threw out), so it might actually be closer to 75% cotton, 25% wool.
Care instructions: Dry clean only, apparently, but with it being mostly cotton I’ll settle for hand-wash cold.
Purchased at: Value Village
Price: $10
Weight: ~400 grams or 1lb
Plans for the yarn: I have no idea yet. It could be good for fall, as it’s part wool but mostly cotton. Usually the plies lose their twist when I rip cotton, but due to the wool content they are sticking together and maintaining the twist which I mucho appreciate. There’s enough here for a sweater, so maybe this could become a green gable.
