Quality comments:
This yarn is a pleasure to work with. However, it is so fuzzy that it hides any stitch pattern including purl/knit combinations. You are better off using in stockinette stitch only as anything else will be lost.

This yarn makes a perfect winter scarf or collar for jacket. It is wonderful for accents and creates a very luxurious look.

Quality comments:
I love this yarn. It's very easy to work with, doesn't worm, and is soft, soft. The only problem I had is that you must wash it before wearing - it sheds until you wash it.

This is fluffy enough for stockinette only. I have made two things (vest and short sleeve sweater) with this yarn, and they look great.

Quality comments:
I like the quality of
the yarn, esp when
making something that
needs to be soft. I
used it for a chemo
cap; i think it would
be good for collar or
cuffs as well.

I got a nice fabric using stockinette stitch, for a chemo cap. Nice "stretchability" to the fabric, but not a dense fabric as a result. Didn't have worming occur. Recipient was pleased w the result. Would use it again.

Quality comments:
While this yarn was
soft and not difficult
to work, it turned
everything it touched
blue. I tried hand
washing it and could
not stop the color
bleeding- and the hand
washing made it stiff

Other comments:
I bought this because of its chemo cap reputation- but I couldn't give the hat to the intended recipient for fear of her looking like a smurf!
