Good for summer sweaters, but very splitty

I am knitting my first lace scarf using cotton bam boo. It feels so nice in my hands and I love holding it up as it grows! It drapes so beautifully and has such a lovely scheen. I do have to take my time while knitting however, because the yarn splits easily. I would purchase and use this yarn again because it creates such a beautiful finished product!

This soft yarn knits up beautifully. It has more drape than 100% ctton yarn and as much luster as mercerized cotton. Stitch definition is great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the difficulty in avoiding hanging loops. The yarn is made of 10 or so tightly twisted plies, which separate rather easily (like embroidery floss) when you manipulate the yarn to make a stitch. I'm no neophyte - I've been knitting for 50 years - but I have to pay close attention to make sure I'm incorporating the full strand of yarn into each stitch. HOWEVER - if you don't mind focusing on your work, this soft yarn feels good in the hands and the finished product is well worth the effort. I'm using the pink, which is a nice delicate color without being boring.

I have to say, this yarn is scrumptious! It feels lovely in my hands, works up beautifully, and has incredible sheen & drape! This yarn has a wonderful soft feel, yet is quite sturdy in structure. I'm working up a sweater in various lace type patterns and it shows the designs off very nicely. LOVE LOVE! I cannot wait to purchase more colors! I'm working with the 'mist' for this project! If you like working in cotton, you'll LOVE this texture & fiber! Enjoy!
