Lovely deep even color throughout 10 skeins,
Consistent twist and quality fiber
The merino, yak and alpaca blend drew me in and that combined with the lovely, soft colors made me buy it. Well-spun and wonderfully consistent in the hand, it knits to a lovely, soft, light-feeling fabric with loft. I am using it to make the Emory Toque from the free pattern on the website. Designated a #4 worsted weight yarn, I am using a US number 8 needle (5 mm) and the results look just right. A beautiful yarn I will purchase again, and I look forward to re-purchasing the oatmeal color (which was sold out when I went to buy more) but all the colors are delightful. This yarn would be good for accessories like the hat I am making but also would make a beautiful sweater. Ample yardage makes the price well-worth it.
This yarn was so unbelievably soft! I used it to make this lovely knit hat by Two of Wands. Also, the color is SOOO vibrant. It was a perfect pattern and perfect yarn!
I like this yarn but it should be listed as a light DK or sport weight. I'm a tight knitter but had to go down two needle sizes (from an 8 to a 6) to get my project to show good cable definition and not look lacy. The yarn is very soft and I'd buy it again, but only for a sport weight project.
I purchased several skeins of this yarn and was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to work with. The quality of the yarn is awesome and so soft. I made a pair of socks for my brother and he loves them. He washed them once in the washing machine and dried them in the dryer till they were damp. This was just enough to tighten the stitches and make the yarn even softer. I WILL be purchasing this yarn again.
The colors of this yarn are rich and beautiful. Fabulous stitch definition. And the matching hat and scarf are so soft after an Eucalan rinse. Loved it so much that I ordered another color - now to decide what to knit.
