I recently purchased this yarn, mostly due to its feel and a former review on a comparable yarn. I found that this yarn lived up to it's discription and some. Not only is it incredibly soft, it also is lofty and has a great stitch definition. I just completed a cowl project in one sit down and it looks fantastic. My only complaint is not for the yarn but for the pattern which called for two skeins but only needed one. You really get a lot of yardage from these skeins making the price tag worth it. How many times do you really want to wear virgin wool right on your neck? Well, now you will.
