I am finishing a cardigan and have had no problem with the yarn breaking and I am on the 10th skein. Both the color and feel of yarn are perfect.

Still planning on trying to knit with it, but it broke a bunch of time as I was trying to roll it into a ball.

I should also mention that I JUST received this yarn today from UPS, and it broke 6 times while trying to create a ball, no matter how gently I unwound it, and it knotted extrememly easily, took me hours to unwind and roll into a ball. However, I do intend to use it with another yarn in hopes that it will prevent it from breaking within the garment.

This would be best used with another yarn to strengthen the fibers. Alone, it breaks with the slightest tug and I would worry that any garment would tear as easily. The texture is unique and I like the color which is variagated due the fibers all taking the dye differently.

This yarn knits up very nicely. I made a shawl with a beautiful drape to it. The yarn has a somewhat loose twist, but it did not break on me at all.

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Royal Llama Linen:

I knit a sample of Royal Llama Linen two years ago and I had no problems. It was a rustic-appearing yarn which felt good on my skin. Linen and silk are two of the strongest fibers around - perhaps the yarn was stored very poorly. In that case she should have tried to return it instead of throwing it away. Besides there are always ways of recycling unusuable yarn. I like this yarn.

When long tail casting on, had problem with yarn constantly breaking. After several tries, I threw 18 skeins in the garbage.
