Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Classic Silk:
I found this yarn very easy to knit. So soft. It was virtually "unsplittable" while knitting. It definitely has thin and thick texture, and the thinner areas can be broken with a good tug. So, not good for projects that get stressed because it will stretch and get weak. I used the cranberry color for a summer cardigan and the dye left color on my hands while I knitted, so I'd recommend you take possible color transfer into account when you choose a color. While it makes for a beautiful yarn, darker colors may be highly saturated. And, of course, with the silk, it sheds a little. Still, with those cautions, I loved using this yarn and would buy it again.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Classic Silk:
I really enjoy working with this yarn! It is so soft, drapey, and despite the fact it has a cotton content, it is extremely light weight! I use it for tank tops, tunics, and other summer tops because it isn't weighty, and knit on 6s (for me), the end result is airy, without being see through.
Service and delivery comments:
Customer service was awesome... I had questions about my order, and I used live chat and email. They were quick to respond, and extremely helpful and friendly. The yarn arrived quickly, and was in perfect condition when it arrived.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Classic Silk:
I love the texture of this yarn! It's so easy to crochet with. For some reason the combination of silk and cotton is better than either alone. I made a scarf for my daughter that worked up quickly because I didn't want to put it down.
The only problem I can point out is that the yarn might not be able to take stress on a seam if you are making a seamed garment. The scarf I made had no seams of course, but when I pulled the first measure of yarn from the ball it pulled apart. But no problem after that, so maybe it was a one-time weakness in the strand.
I have another color I'm going to use on a top-down (no seams) sweater for myself.
I would definitely purchase more!
