I knitted a cowl with Iris for a friend's birthday and it looks and feels like a warm cloud. Light, airy, warm, and comfy

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Giselle:
I bought this fiber specifically to make a felted jacket - it went so quickly and was so wonderful to work with. Then the felting - was just fabulous - it is now one of my favorite pieces - I would definitely give this fiber an A+!!

Rather hard to work with as sometimes the strands are very very thin. Works up so pretty, tho.

I doubled the yarn to get the gauge of LaGran Mohair. Used a Classc Elite pattern It's beautiful. Am working on two other Mohair sweaters (LaGran) and plan on getting more Giselle.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Giselle:
I get so many compliments on my scarf, though it was soooo easy to knit. A 2x2 rib on 6 or 7 needles makes a large cowl.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Giselle:
I use this yarn for lace scarves. I like that it knits up quickly and it is easy to knit with. I use it with size 10 needles. With its long fibers it does not unknit well, so make sure you know your pattern before you start with this yarn. The colors are nice and are consistant from skein to skein and within the skein. The only problem I have with the yarn is that the finished product felts quickly with wear.
