Just a little clarification as its easy to confuse 3 yarns:
Panda 8ply
Panda Carnival Soft 8ply
and Carnival 8ply

The Carnival Soft 8ply in this listing is produced by Panda, is acrylic 80g/153m and available in Big W stores in Australia.
Also be mindful that recent production of this yarn has a shiny finish and is quite ‘slippery’, so if you haven’t bought some in a while, the new balls look and feel significantly different to original yarn. See 2nd pic is an example. (top ball is the new feel)

Previously Panda’s yarn of “Panda 8ply” was 100g and 100% wool. That one is now discontinued.

Originally the Carnival 100% acrylic long balls (100g) that are produced and are available at Big W stores in Australia, changed shape to the regular shape. They now feel softer than the long shape.
