Used this for a scarf with another yarn, beautiful unfolding of color that looks like a color wheel. I like the variegated thickness/thinness of the yarn as it adds to the texture of the scarf. It is perhaps not the softest yarn but I wouldn't call it scratchy.

I always have an issue with sock yarns where the thread is broken in production and then continued indiscriminately without any consideration for continuity of overall color design. I was disappointed to notice that one 100g skein makes easily a pair of socks, one green and one purple. The color design is so 'long', that you won't get two repeats out of one skein - which makes a difference if you are keen on symmetry. The only way around that would've been to purchase two skeins, but would I have gotten two of the same repeat? Probably not. Yes, the colors are gorgeous, but to my taste the texture is awful, harsh, spiney, and gauge of yarn inconsistent. You wind up with sloppy, droopy socks that need handwashing (now, seriously, how sensible is that?). This was my first and last experiment with the much revered Noro yarn, there are more consistent yarns with much more reliable production quality and at least equal if not better, color designs out there.

I bought the yarn for the Autumn leaves shawl. I will never buy this yarn again. As a spinner, I would be ashamed to put out such a shoddy product.

Comments about 19.95 Silk Garden Sock:
I'm using this yarn to crochet a lacy shawl/vest. The colorway, Moonstone, is glorious. I will have several choices of colors to wear with it. Noro yarn is my favorite. It's dry clean only, but we'll worth not being able to wash at home.

Comments about 19.95 Silk Garden Sock:
I love the color changes in this yarn. I've used it in a wrap in entrelac and also a felted handbag in entrelac. I am using this batch to make the leaf shawl from one of the Noro pattern books. I don't like that there are some rough fibers in the yarn that can scratch.

Comments about 19.95 Silk Garden Sock:
I made a dynamite sweater pattern that was great with the variegated pattern of the yarn. It does tend to be a little stiff and twist a little while working, but this is not a huge problem. The finished product loosens up and looks fantastic.

Comments about 19.95 Silk Garden Sock:
I've used this yarn before for a hat, which becomes softer over time -- the texture is smooth and silky. It was a beautiful yarn to work with and has kept its shape. It is a very warm wool in our cold Canadian winters.

Have not started the project. Just wanted something different. Colors are great and may look like I am really wearing leaves on my shoulders?
