Artful Yarns Serenade
Premium pima cotton softened by angora: what a yummy blend! Artful Yarns Serenade is a worsted weight, slightly downy cotton blend with three-ply construction in mouthwatering shades. When we sampled Serenade, there wasn't a texture it wouldn't take. The final fabric drapes beautifully and with the available color palette we're envisioning delicious spring and summer knits. Made in Peru.
This yarn is available ONLINE ONLY.

Comments about Artful Yarns Serenade:
Love how it knitted up into a hat. Soft and light; not bulky at all, and almost had a silky fabric texture when knitted up.

Comments about Artful Yarns Serenade:
About 3/4 way to completing a cardigan. Knits up beautifully and quickly. Weight is nice for draping. Need to be careful about twist separation, but not a problem for me. The angora in the yarn sheds slightly onto the clothing your wearing while knitting.

I bought this yarn to make a sweater, yet to be started but I will try to update my review if possible once I begin knitting. So glad I could take advantage of the sale!

Comments about Artful Yarns Serenade:
I am knitting the Sandi sweater from Seamless (or nearly seamless) Knits with color 6001. I love the sturdiness of cotton combined with the halo of angora. The colors are true and consistant and I have not encountered any knots in the four hanks I've used so far. This yarn is incredibly soft and I can't wait to see how it feels to wear. The plies are very relaxed, so it tends to split. One has to very careful when picking up stitches and cabling. The angora also sheds a bit... will have to see what happens when it is washed.

Comments about Artful Yarns Serenade:
Used this to made a sweater for a daughter who will only wear soft yarn with no itch. She wears the sweater a lot. This yarn is wonderful-- it has a great drape. The stitch definition is very sharp and the colors blend beautifully. The only problem is that if the bands fall off, the skeins tangle instantly. The biggest issue is deciding which additional colors to buy.
