Comments about Plymouth Yarn Boku:
I had no trouble with this yarn except for seaming. Either twist it tightly to use for seams or use a stronger yarn. I knit a huge, heavy sweater with this yarn and never a break or weak spot. Less knots in the skein than other similar yarns I have used - i.e. Kuryeon.

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Boku:
Love the self stripping effect! Knitted a hoodie (well almost done) with lace pattern and cable. Most gorgous sweater I have, (as soon as I finish that last sleeve and hood)! Most fun I have had making a sweater.

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Boku:
I was excited to get this yarn and am very disappointed with it! It breaks constantly! I couldnt even weave with it! Two rows and it consistently breaks! Plymouth should be ashamed to sell this yarn!

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Boku:
On one hat the yarn just broke apart 3 times. I do not knit with a tight tension. The colors are pretty and the hat looks nice-but I'll never buy this yarn again.
Comments about Plymouth Yarn Boku:
This is one of the only yarns that I have ever returned. On multiple skeins, it broke so consistently that I couldn't even cast on. Beautiful colorways will lure you in, but this yarn is IMPOSSIBLE!!!
