Quality comments:
Consistent yarn size; no knots encountered in the two skeins I used. A little dye run-off in first washing, but retained original color depth and brightness.
Other comments:
Was easy to work with and felt good to the touch. This yarn gives a nice tweedy look. I made a pair of socks with a simple 3,2 slipped stitch ribbing in cuff and arch; thereby letting the colors create the "pattern". The yarn fuzzes up a bit in the working and wearing, so I'm a little concerned about how well the socks will hold up in the long-term.
