New old stock from my shop Pins & Needles in Devizes.
Veganette is delightful blend of 90% cotton/10% polyamide, with a chainette construction. The subtle colour-changes add even more interest. It has a really soft, almost brushed but not, handle to it. It would make a great summer top - knitted or crocheted (the swatches shown are knitted.
It's about a worsted thickness with a suggested tension of 19sts x 26 rows using 4 or 4.5mm needles. I'm pretty certain it would work to a DK tension too - it's light enough to use the 4mm needles with; 4.5mm give a lighter, airier fabric. Each 50g ball contains 140 metres. Its machine washable at 30 degrees.
When you can find this yarn, it seems to be retailing at something under a fiver per ball; you can get it here at £3.50 each.
