Very nice drape, lots of yarn per skein, and the dye doesn't come off on your needles or fingers when knitting.
This yarn is both soft and strong. The color combination is exactly as pictured online, and the colors are fresh and rich. The yarn is easy to knit with and I don't think pilling will become a problem for the finished garment. I look forward to wearing my sweater when it's finished!
This yarn feels soft to work with and the nylon gives it strength. I am making a sweater using size 3 and 5 needles which give the stitches a perfect look. The light and dark purples combined look rich (I’m using “crocus”) and the color matches what I saw online.
