From LionBrand.com: “Microspun is a super-soft micro-fiber yarn that comes in stunning tropical colors as well as sophisticated neutrals.

From ball band: “An ultra soft microfiber sports yarn.”

Product Care Instructions: Machine wash using warm water (104°F/40°C) and mild detergent. Machine dry at low temperature setting or hand wash and lay flat to dry. Item may not be smoothed or finished with an iron.

Even though the ball band lists this as a “3” weight yarn, the gauge matches Ravelry’s yarn weight for “Sport” weight. So for that reason, this yarn is listed as Sport“ here. That also matches the wording on the ball band about it being a “Sports” yarn.
