Quality comments:
Lovely yarn, crisp,
manly, rugged, tweedy.
The color name implies
a blue-gray, but this
is more of a purple-
tinted blue. I love the
natural oils feel while
I am knitting. This
yarn seems a little
thinner than the
previous Brunswick
incarnation. I haven't
washed/blocked it yet
to see if the
final "feel" will be
more like Brunswick
Ballybrae.
Unfortunately, it has
been discontinued, but
can still be found on
ebay. It has a firmer,
rougher feel than
Tahki's Donegal Tweed.

Other comments:
This is perfect for a true Fall/Winter sweater. It's a tweedy yarn perfect for fall days, football games, and winter shoveling.
