I've used many skeins of this yarn and find the colors and weight perfect to knit my favorite Koigu Beret pattern. The pattern calls for beads and the yarn accepts the beads perfectly. I also use the Koigu KPPPM for knitting socks.

I love to use this yarn for small, keep me warm projects. Actually machine washable, and a beautiful range of color options. Very easy to work with, and holds up for years!

Koigu has always been a favorite yarn of mine, especially for providing accents to solid colored knit projects. I’ve used it for pockets previously and I’m using this yarn for accents pop of contrast color on a pair of socks. It’s very good quality and the color is just dreamy.
My favorite yarn. Easy to knit with. Great definition.
Beautiful stitch definition.
