Comments about Louisa Harding Merletto:
Made "Louisa" from Cocoknits with this and absolutely love the sweater. The drape is amazing and it has a lovely sheen. The plain stockinette of the sweater really shows off the yarn beautifully. People see it and say "wow!"
I'd suggest knitting no looser than the recommended 22st/4" gauge as it wants to stretch under its own weight and has no memory whatsoever. Be a bit careful in wearing, as the lovely and shiny rayon component snags easily.
I liked this yarn enough that I ordered more for another sweater. That one is looking great as well, so will be ordering again.

Comments about Louisa Harding Merletto:
This is a very pretty yarn. However, as others have mentioned, it is very splitty. There are also bits of hard fiber in the yarn that I remove as I knit along. The knitted product looks very nice though. Not sure if I would venture to buy this yarn again.

Comments about Louisa Harding Merletto:
Very beautiful yarn, love how it shimmers. But, it does have a tendency to split and snag while knitting - just have to slow down and knit carefully.
Service and delivery comments:
Not only was this the absolute best price on the internet, it arrived much sooner than I expected it to. Wonderful service.
