Perfect for a meaningful shawl

I'm using it for a shawl for my friend who has cancer. She said pink, and I love working in ombre yarn. The merino superwash is perfect. I bought 2 balls thinking I could make it nice and big. I could also make some caps as well. It felt good but has places where the twist was loose and created a fuzzy spot. It still looks like it should. I'm still working on it, and it’s going well.

The yarn is beautiful. It has a unique texture and knits up kind of stringy and bumpy. This is actually great for my particular project, although you should keep it in mind in case you’re looking for something more uniform.

I love how the colors gradually transition. I used it for a toddler cardigan and it turned out great.

Loved the color gradients, but the yarn itself isn’t tightly wound and unravels and breaks off when I’m trying to sew the seams.

I really enjoyed knitting with this yarn. It felt good in my hands and was not splitty. It is a soft merino acrylic blend. I ordered color: Tropical Sunset and the colors were true to what was pictured on the Webs site. I knit a lengthwise scarf and the colors worked extremely well because the color changes are fairly long, so there were 2-3 rows of each color in my 300 stitch scarf. I would definitely order again. The yardage is so much that I made a scarf and still had 1/3 of the 660 yards...
