Comments about Swans Island Fingering:
The Beetroot color does bleed on the hands as you works with it. I have to wash the blue off my fingers everytime I put the work down. It's a little annoying but I am sure once I wash it it should be fine. The color is so lovely I am willing to ignore the color bleeding.

Comments about Swans Island Fingering:
Swan's Island makes top quality yarns. I make fair isle caps for friends and family every winter and prefer a fingering weight yarn so that I can use intricate patterns. These caps look and feel wonderful. Looking forward to doing a three color short-row shawl. The colors are so beautiful together.
