Quality comments:
This is a very nice yarn to work with. It has a great drape, although it definitely needs to be blocked if any texture is used. The red dye did not come out in the water. I had two different dye lots which did vary noticably.

I made a sweater from VK with purl-stitched crosses on a st stitch back ground. I really enjoyed working with the yarn and would use it again.

Quality comments:
Out of 6 skeins so far,
3 have had 1, 2 or 3
EXTRA joins or flaws
serious enough to
require cutting and
joining. With a luxury
yarn that is this
slippery and difficult
to join, I don't expect
to have the added work
of doubling the number
of joins I doing.

This rayon ribbon is beautiful for the soft, drapy lace jacket.

Quality comments:
I do not like this
yarn. The blue and
white striped top I
made from
it ran in the wash.
NEVER mix two colours
with this. Also, the
yarn split and was very
hard to finish off
since it is extremely
slick.

Quality comments:
I found the yarn very
split-y until I got used
to working with it;
however, the
fabric/halter I knitted
up looked fancy indeed.

Other comments:
This is perfect for a very drapey garment. I'd use it again no matter the problem with splitting. I liked the feel of the yarn as I was knitting and the garment i made was almost shimmery.
