Comments about Valley Yarns 2/10 Merino Tencel (Colrain Lace):
I wove a large blanket with this yarn around December of 2009. It is not an overly strong yarn as a warp, I had a lot of breakage on the selvages while weaving, but I kind of expected that. At first the finished product was great, lovely drape, sheen, and softness. As the blanket has been used, however, the yarn has pilled like no other. I'm not talking normal pilling for wool either, these babies are giant. There are fuzzies the size of my pinky nail over the entire surface. I would not suggest this yarn for weaving.

I had never used a wool/tencel blend yarn before, and I am so pleased with my purchase! The yarn has great texture, shine, and the overall feel of it is superb. The colors are great, however the one color I bought "whipple blue" does appear to be more of a teal/green color than the color swatch pictured. I am still very happy with though! It is also a very "forgiving" yarn. When I first started knitting with it I messed up my pattern and had to rip rows upon rows out and the yarn didn't fall apart or untwist. I would recommend this yarn for any knitting/crochet project.

I'm submitting this review to up the score. It's not fair for it to be downgraded because someone didn't like the results when she machine-washed a yarn that clearly says "hand wash."

I love this yarn. I just finished a crochet lace shawl and it is beautiful....I enjoyed every minute that I handled the yarn and am now ready to buy another color.
