Knitted a simple shawl in garter stitch. I'd get zipping along and had to back track as stitches easily split the yarn making for a rough looking product. Three quarters of the way through, I noticed irregularities in the pattern that I had missed. I ended up undoing entire project. Am now scouting around for patterns and perhaps a larger needle size for guage that may hide the roughness of the yarn. Rose color is very pretty.

Comments about Universal Yarn Eden Silk:
This was my first sweater, It turned out great except the yarn started pilling right away and it didn't do a very good job of hiding even decreases. I don't know hat ill use my last skein on, maybe a hat, but I won't give it as a gift

Comments about Universal Yarn Eden Silk:
I received this product shortly after Super Storm Sandy devastated the East Coast. What amazed me was that the product did come. I asked for expedited shipping. Because of the storm, this was impossible. Webs refunded my whole shipping charge. Unbelievable.

Comments about Universal Yarn Eden Silk:
I used this yarn to make a gansey sweater. The stitches popped and the sweater draped beautifully. I used the color "blush", and it's just gorgeous. It was lovely to work with and I just ordered enough for another sweater in a soft blue color.
