Comments about Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk Paints:
I ordered this in the "Shadows" colorway which turns out to be lovely blues and greens. There isn't as much color variation as I expected from the web picture, though.

Comments about Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk Paints:
Yes, it is possible to split stitches as other reviewers have stated, but the feel of this yarn while knitting and then wearing is worth being just a tiny bit more careful. After all, if it were too easy, it would be in mass-produced things and then what's the point?
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk Paints:
I like Heritage Paints (with nylon instead of silk), this feels a teeny bit softer. Made socks and just gave them as gifts, so cannot comment on wear yet.
