Rialto is very uniform and does not have a splitting problem. The yarn in the color Ocean is gorgeous.

Rialto is very uniform and does not have a splitting problem. The yarn in the color Ocean is gorgeous.
I'm using it for a baby afghan with Merino wool. I'm staying away from acrylic and synthetic yarns and materials. It’s an absolute dream to work with.
I have previously knitted a sweater using it and had a great experience. It was easy to use and it looked professional when it was finished. After much use it still looks good!
It’s very soft, so I’m concerned about it holding its shape. The stitch definition is excellent. I’m using US4 instead of the US6 on the label, hoping for a sturdier sweater.
I love this yarn, but sadly I probably will not be shopping Webs any longer for my yarn needs as I have done for many years. The selection of colors and quantities of yarn has been very disappointing over the last few months as well as many favorite yarns not being available at all any longer.
I was looking for a DK weight for intarsia and would never use superwash for intarsia because the ends always work their way out and the yarn never "blooms" to fill in the stitches. The description did not mention superwash so I ended up paying for shipping to me and then again back to Webs.
Very soft & color is perfect. It can be a little splitty but I'm very happy with the yarn!
So soft. Lovely sheen. Good definition on my intricate afghan
The yarn itself is soft and easy to knit, but, there were about six individual 16 inch pieces that had to be joined throughout the skein of yarn.
I have used this yarn for 4 granddaughters! Beautiful shade of pink. Very hard to find.
