Quality comments:
Nine skeins used -- one knot. Skeins of even length.

This was used for a rectangular shawl -- Horseshoe Lace pattern. Yarn has an interesting texture(thick and thin slub) that makes up into an interesting casual shawl -- the rayon content gives it some shine and keeps it from seeming to "rustic". Would not use this for anything fitted or shaped, as it has the characteristic "droop" of all of its fibers. It is really nice, though, for a casual lace project.

Quality comments:
This is a thick worsted
weight, not a sport
yarn!!
Making Diamond Patch
Sweater (this is the
recommended yarn). Easy
to
knit with, goes well on
metal needles. Drags
somewhat on bamboo.
Color intense and
saturated, as is a
lavender I have in
stash.

Other comments:
Thick and thin texture and rayon shine makes it tricky to pick up
stitched accurately, or to sew seams properly. However, this also
means small errors are nicely disguised.
The finished cap-sleeve sweater is going to weigh a ton.
