Beautiful yarn and great service
The yarn is beautiful! I'm combining it with a worsted alpaca for a shawl, and it is lovely to work with. It's not finished yet, and I can't wait to wear it! Thank you for great service and gorgeous yarn selections.

KSH is my go to yarn too hold together with a lace weight or fingering weight yarn to add halo and warmth. Although it’s expensive, I keep a stash on hand for luxury shawl projects. Lovely yarn.
The yarn is wonderfully soft. However, it is very fine. I can no longer knit on needles smaller than a 7, so I am knitting with two strands. This makes using #8 needles workable. However, the yarn tends to tangle a bit, so it was quite difficult to cast on. Now that I am just knitting straight (no complicated pattern), it is working well and looks lovely.
It’s like knitting with hairy thread & difficult to rip out, but it’s beautiful made up & so soft
I like this yarn when I’m knitting with mohair. The color selection is pretty good.
This yarn is gorgeous. I am using it for a women's pullover sweater, knit on size 4 circular needles. Size 4 needles should make a solid piece of fabric. If not, I will switch to size 3 needles. I haven't begun knitting yet.
It is lovely, but somewhat difficult to work with because it is so fine. I made a mobius scarf that is great.
I have used it before. I am almost finished with a cowl hood. I like the feel both in wearing and knitting. Great, that's why I use it.
I used a skein of this yarn with one of a thin, smooth worsted wool - and by worsted I mean the spinning method - and I knitted them together. The resultant fabric was both smooth and with a perfect halo! On top of that, the Mission was quite easy to work with, which I didn't expect.
Using this to knit a lacy scarf. It is beautiful yarn and color. Suggest using needles (or circular) that is not metal or the yarn would slide on as it is hard to keep on the needle -- so one with a bit more "grab" on the yarn is easier to work with.
