Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Ariosa:
I ordered one ball of this yarn because the it looked so pretty on the monitor and had a great description. It is affordable and the colors are very pretty. Once I knitted it up, however, it lost a lot of its appeal. Just moving the yarn around in your lap makes it come apart, shed, and ultimately, my swatch looked like it had been through the wash before I even finished it. I sheds in wisps, and the yarn loses its luminosity as it becomes fabric. I wet blocked my swatch to see if it would improve the appearance and it made it worse. The yarn just fell apart. Azapa by Araucania, Cocoon by Rowan, and Lustra by Berrocco were much better. I did order a very dark color, Damson, so maybe that made the appearance worse. I did not purchase more of this yarn. It did knit to gauge as stated.
Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Ariosa:
I made a cowl with this and it is stunning. The wool is a very wispy and light single-ply that creates unbelievably soft garments.
