Comments about Cascade Yarns Pima Tencel:
LOVE this yarn: no splitting, silky soft, nice lustre to the yarn, good stitch definition, easy on your hands and to work with while knitting. No pilling, as far as I can see. The best cotton/cotton blend yarn I have used yet. Will buy again.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Pima Tencel:
I just received this yarn, in what appeared to be a very light yellow. It is a very BRIGHT yellow, not what I expected. I also think they took liberties in rating this as a worsted weight, more like DK. Time will tell how I like it in a finished garment.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Pima Tencel:
There are good and bad points on this yarn. Good - it is soft, not at all warm for tropical weather, give well-definied stitches, not splitty, nice hand, and can survive gentle machine-wash. Bad - Pilly (can't wear with any dark colour garment) and heavy (for its weight). In addition, I wonder how long will the garment made out of this yarn will last due to its pilly nature. Only time can tell.
Comments about Cascade Yarns Pima Tencel:
While the yarn is soft and the colors are great, it pills beyond belief. The top I knitted it with gets fuzz and lint on everything! I don't recommend this yarn.
