Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Premiere:
I knit a beret with the beach lavender and it came out great. It's a beautiful color, has fantastic stitch definition, is incredibly soft, *so* easy to knit with, and makes everything you do with it look good. Can a cotton yarn be plump? This one seems to be. Try it in a twisted rib and you will be amazed at how elegant it looks and feels.
Not sure what a previous reviewer meant by unevenly spun. I saw no sign of that.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Premiere:
I loved the softness and drape of this yarn. It was so pleasant to the hand. I went up a half size in needles from the recommended size and wish I hadn't. However my tee from the Round Pond book is gorgeous. The only negative was that every now and then there was a thinner part of the yarn which really was noticeable in the stockinette stitch. Otherwise this was so soft and gorgeous and for a cotton, had a silky feel and look.

I am updating my original review of 3/24/10 after checking with my niece as to how the yarn was holding up. She said the baby sweater remains beautiful after numerous washings. She has experienced no pilling. It is one of her baby's favorites.
Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Premiere:
This yarn is very soft, easy to work with and the colors are beautiful. Love it.
Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Premiere:
My daughter made a complicated Rowan sweater pattern when she first learned to knit. It was very adaptable to her changing tension, and needless to say, wonderful in the hand. The sweater, however, pilled very soon. Maybe that's the price you pay for softness; still it was disappointing after such an ambitious project for a teen.
Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Premiere:
This yarn is wonderful to knit with. It is extremely soft, yet does not split as other soft cotton-blends do. I am currently making a child's sweater with an intricate cable pattern, and the stitch definition is beautiful. LOVE it and its beautiful array of colors!
