Comments about Nashua Handknits Cilantro:

I have bought this to make a summer cardigan. I was disapointed by its texture. It is supposed to be cotton but it feels more like synthetic to me. It reminds me of Phentex we used to buy to make slippers. I do not know what I'll do with this yet. For the moment I put it aside and I bought something else for my cardigan.
I would like to know if others have made something nice with this yarns.

This yarn has beautiful color and pleasing soft feel. The twist has pros and cons. The pro is that it gives the fabric more body and bounce rather than the heavy, saggy that some pure cotton yarns can have in worsted weight. The biggest con to the twist is that it's a little hard to work with to get the twists out if you want an even texture in st st. I also found a knot in one ball. The workaround is to rewind the balls loosely to get some of the twist out while you check for knots (a step most knitters should do regardless but important for this yarn). This is a small accommodation to make for this beautiful yarn.

Service and delivery comments:

Service was great. Yarn arrived in one week with standard shipping. Unfortunately your website didn't update me on status so I was a little concerned but this lack of tracking info did not affect the delivery outcome or cause inconvenience.

I LOVE this yarn and wish it wasn't discontinued. The only caution is that the Fuschia color is PINK.

I made an summer short sleeve fisherman knit sweater with this yarn and it is beautiful. I have washed it several times and it looks brand new. This sweater will hold up and look good for years. There was some fraying - but if you want to make a complicated sweater that is machine washable - Cilantro hits all the bases.

I am a loose knitter, and this yarn holds my stitches and makes them look even.

I enjoyed working with this yarn however with all the elasticity the item turned out too small and I made a size larger than usual. This yarn would be good for hats and mittens, or if you like extremely tight fitting clothes.

I have this yarn in 3 colors and they are so unique. I like that the cotton doesn't hurt my hands, and that it isn't snagging.
