This is, hands down, the most beautiful yarn I've ever worked with. I used Fathom for a scarf that turned out amazing. The color fades in and out to a very deep, saturated blue. My mom has 2 other colors stashed, and they are equally beautiful. I found the yarn very texturally interesting; the thickness varies just enough. I never got tired of working with it, and if I had the funds I would order like 20 more skeins. The price is a little steep for me, but the yardage and coloring makes it perfect for treating yourself :) Trust me--once you work with it, you won't want to give it away!

I had an average of 3 - 4 spliced yarn knots per skein. On top of that I also had (in 2 skeins) very cleanly cut pieces of yarn that I had to tie back together (when winding the yarn - there was just unexpected clean cut end pieces). I wind my yarn by hand so it wasn't from quickly winding on a yarn swift that "broke" the yarn. These were not breaks - but clean cuts. This single ply yarn is very loose and fragile in many places. After I managed to complete my lace knit stole and gently washed before blocking - I saw that there were 6 places in the lace knit pattern where the yarn had broken again (not where the knots were). I also had to alter my pattern as I bought more yarn than I needed and yet fell way short of yarn needed to make my wrap the length specified in my pattern. My gauge was correct - I feel I was shorted on the yarn in the skeins some as I should have had at least 60 yds left over (the pattern called for 1200 yds and I purchased 3 skeins). This is the first time I have ever run out of yarn when knitting any project - I always have left over yarn. There were 17 pattern on each half but I was only able to complete 10 1/2 on the 2nd side. I hesitate to machine wash this as it is SO fragile (the lable says you can machine wash). I was torn between knitting my project in this yarn or my usual favorite Lorna's Laces - I chose this because it was a little less (cost wise). The colors are very pretty and work well with the pattern I used - I just don't see how it will be worn much due to the fragile nature of this yarn. I was hoping to have something special (a stole) as a knit keepsake from my son's wedding. I'll be lucky to have it last through the ceremony.

Comments about Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light:

The wool that I received seemed strangely matted together. It was so difficult to roll into a ball because the strands stuck together and snagged and caused hours of frustration!

        Comments about Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light:

        I really like the color and softness of this yarn. It is delicate, but doesn't break easily. I am knitting a cowl with it and had a hard time joining in the round without twisting my work, but I believe that is due to my inexperience.

                This is a beautifully dyed yarn available in many color ways. I chose Stargazing for a crocheted sweater out of Interweave Knits. I am loving that the yarn is so crochet-friendly; it doesn't split and it flows nicely over the hook.

                      I'm knitting a sweater with this and I have a few other colors waiting to be knitted up. The colors are amazing and it's nice and smooshy. My only complaint is that it has some thicker spots. Mostly, it's consistently fingering weight but occasionally you get some almost dk-ish spots. The tonal quality of the dyeing kind of hides this in your work, though. But, really, I can't get over how gorgeous the colors are.
