Comments about Opal Hundertwasser:

I purchased this because of a sample sock at WEBS. Truth be told, I really didn't like the hand of this yarn when I kniited my socks from it-but seriously chanfged my mind when I first washed them. It bloomed and softened up-But wears like iron!! I am going on 4 years of heavy wear on the pair that I made, and there is no sign of them wearing out!!! The color changes make knitting with this yarn truly addictive-and the colors are attractive. Pricey yarn, but you will get your money worth out of socks made from it. And they can be tossed into the wash and dryer with minimal shrinkage.
