5 Stars
Easy to knit with, very sturdy (as in doesn't break if over stretched), not scratchy (important for the mittens and headbands I'm using it for), washes well ... and fairly priced.

I like the weight and the color. The only thing keeping this from a 5-star rating is that the yarn tends to split, so you have to really pay attention as you knit.
Just love this yarn and have knitting several items with it from hats to sweaters. It is soft and very warm!
I just knitted four sweaters with this yarn and just love it. It gives beautiful definition to cable sweaters and is very soft and warm.
Colour not what I expected more burgundy than red but was very pretty and workable yarn.
Lovely to knit, shows pattern well and is the perfect weight for a quick knit.

Knits up quickly and is washable
The yarn splits very easily, much more so than others.
Have not started the project yet, but while doing the gauge swatch, found it a little splitty and not as soft as I had hoped. But… I needed a washable product to gift, so this may be the trade off.
