I have used Pima Tencel for a lot of my flapper hats and cloches. I like the body,the sheen, the softness and the weight. It makes the flapper hats have some stability, so you can "play" and change the brim, thus creating a different look.

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:
This yarn is great. It's got a really nice, soft texture and the knitting drapes well. It's not particularly stretchy and has a pleasant weight to it. I haven't had any problems with it being splitty or otherwise difficult to work with and it hasn't pilled or fuzzed or felted even though I can't resist petting it all the time.
I'm making an afghan with it and I expect it will be quite heavy but I concider that a pro, not a con.

I haven't knit much yet with this yarn, only a gauge for a cardigan. I already love the texture and the softness. It's gonna be perfect. I will buy this yarn again for sure.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Pima Tencel:
Product has beautiful texture, but it is being discontinued. I ordered the amount my project stated, but it ended up not being enough, and when I came back to order more, the color is no longer available. Be careful and purchase more than you think you need for any project.

I used this yarn to make a baby newsboy, and it was adorable!
Service and delivery comments:
I love purchasing yarn from yarn.com....as there are so many options and it brings about an air of uniqueness, rather than having the same style/color yarn at the local hobby shops. :)
