Quality comments:
Excellent, soft,
smooth, easy handling
yarn. High quality
color selection, no
knots or imperfections,
no splitting, a true
pleasure to work with.

Have used for afghan and sweater. Wonderful drape, lightweight, warm, some stretching in heavy projects, would not necessarily recommend for high texture projects, but fabulous in mixed yarn or fairly plain projects.

Quality comments:
This is very soft,
wonderful yarn to work
with. It's rather
softly spun, so splits
easily with smaller
metal needles. The
colors worked out
beautifully and it was
an enjoyable project to
work on.
I'd definitely
recommend this to
others and would use it
myself in the future.

Other comments:
I used two balls, from my odd ball sale stash, to make fingerless gloves. To make them durable I used a tighter guage, but the yarn still stayed very soft. When picking up fingers for the gloves there were very few holes because of the softer spin of this yarn. They turned out great.
