Comments about SMC Egypto Cotton:
I'm working with this on a fair isle sweater for my daughter who is moving to LA, so I needed a lightweight cotton in pretty colors. I had a very hard time finding fine enough cottons in colors that weren't the typical sock yarn colors - dark, boring, won't-show-dirt gray and navy, and variegated blinding colors that just wouldn't serve the purpose. These are ever so soft (only ones in the project softer are the Creamy Flame, but they only come in a few sherbet-y colors) as judged by my 12 year old son, who nuzzled them all with his face. The only complaint I have is that I wish they were spun tighter, because sometimes I miss a ply with my needle - is this what is meant by splitty? However, part of my requirements for this sweater were washability, and I just washed my swatch, and they seem to have stood up great to the process, so I'm pleased.
