This is my first time using this yarn for crochet, I wished I had found it earlier. Single ply lace yarns are not easy to come by, crocheting also seems to have much fewer comments than knitting and/or weaving. My experience with the Praire turned out really well though i was initially surprised by the colour ways being different from expectation. That likely is a matter of monitor screen colour display. May be I will post a picture of the finish product later.

Comments about true Prairie:
This is a beautiful yarn and the colours gorgeous, but too fine for my purpose, great for fine lacy shawls. I think the Madeline Tosh Merino Light would have been more suitable for my needs. This is the disadvantage of online shopping I guess but overall I love Madeline Tosh yarns.

I have now purchased several skeins of Madelinetosh yarn, and I'm so impressed with the quality of the yarn, the subtle color shifts, and how well it handles. It's a dream to work with.

Using this to knit a lace shawl, loving how easy it is to see the stitches, good definition. The colors, as always are fabulous and unique. Yarn is evenly, consistently spun, soft and smooth. A joy to work with.

Comments about true Prairie:
the best word to describe MadelineTosh Prairie is "luscious". It is soft, shows stitch definition, and almost knits itself. Yardage in the skeins is very good.
