Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Cricket:
I used this to make a short sleeve raglan sweater in pumpkin. Since this has some red strands as well as orange, it is a good color for spring/summer as well as fall. It was an easy pattern and since I'm just starting my foray into garments, I have to say it turned out beautifully. I like the texture of this yarn--soft and just slightly nubby. It was easy to work with and best of all it creates a very cool (temperature wise) comfortable fabric.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Cricket:
Am knitting "Patchouli" sweater and so far it exceeds my expectations. No heavy cotton feel. Have already ordered more for a more complicated summer cable hoodie. Lovely subtle colorplay.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Cricket:
I bought only 1 skein of this yarn along with the rest of my yarn order....only to test it and try it out on making a child's hat. I really liked the tweed appearance and the soft feel and found it to be just what I was looking for. I am interested in trying out some of the other colors as well.
