The extraordinary halo wrapped around the core requires more attention to ensure you are really knitting through the stitch. But it's a trade-off. That same halo can give you a really luxe fabric that is incredibly light and cozy.
I've made the Be Sweet cables wrap pattern twice using Dark Grey and then Black. The grey wrap catches the light such that the fabric almost glows and the cables show well. A friend saw it and wanted one. I made it for her in black. Unfortunately, the wrap I made in black doesn't reflect light as well and the details of the cable pattern are hard to see. Also, be aware this yarn will shed. A few cycles in the dryer (NO HEAT! Air dry only!) reduces shedding.
I would recommend this yarn (although not in black) to intermediate and advanced knitters.
