I just love working with this yarn to crochet scarves. I love seeing how the colors come up, and the hand of the finished items is light and soft. I'm using it for probably 30 of various sizes.

Customer Reviews
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.

Colors are brilliant and crochet up nicely. Very pleasing to work with. I like the texture as well.
