This yarn is wonderfully soft and nice to work with.
Lovely colors and very soft. I am using it for a baby blanket. It has a lot of drape, and it doesn’t feel as stiff and sturdy as some cotton yarns I have tried. These qualities worked well for the pattern I was using. Also, I found it to be way off gauge, but that doesn’t matter much with a baby blanket. I swatched it with different needles a few times to get it right.
The yarn is beautiful but it is not worsted weight as it’s labeled. It knits light a dk or a light worsted yarn. I couldn’t use it on the project I bought it for.
