        Comments about Artful Yarns Heroes:

        This yarn was peculiar that it would have little puffs of the elastic thread and the need to keep smoothing it out wasted my time. This seemed to be caused as I pulled the yarn through my tension fingers and also from the ball. I have a very even yarn feed tension and this was not caused by being tight. I think it was due to the different threads put together. I have knitted for 76 years and thought this would make a lovely shell for jackets. Very Bright! Course in todays speak that may be "tee"..
        However, the colors are delightful and worth the lil puffs.

          I usually knit with wool so it was strange to work with the slippery texture. The K1P1 cardigan worked up fast and looks great so I'm happy with the end result.

          Comments about Artful Yarns Heroes:

          Made into a drop stitch scarf for a gift and it came out beautifully. This yarn is easy to work with. The variegated colors are bright with some shine that adds a richness to the finished item. Only con is that with the nylon component it catches on dry hands but luckily it was easy to pull it back into place with no one being the wiser. Would buy again.
