Surprised that was strong enough for a warp. It is slippery, however, and it takes some doing to tie a knot that's stays tight. I used it as a ground for overshot sett at 20 epi in a 10 dent reed. The fabric was amazingly soft and airy with a beautiful sheen.
I love this yarn for fine lace patterns. It’s soft and delicate, yet has enough crispness to allow the lace pattern to really show through. The silk gives it strength, so it doesn’t break. It requires a bit more attention than most so that it doesn’t split when knitting, but I don’t find this feature too burdensome.
This is a beautiful, soft and luxurious yarn to work with. The fluff isn’t too much. It’s soft on the cone and soft after knitted. I didn’t experience any issues with this yarn and have purchased it several times!
Such a lovely yarn for knitting, crochet or weaving. A versatile yarn with a lot of yardage. Extremely soft and silky and a lovely halo effect. A favorite go to for lace work. Webs is often out off colors however, but understandably because it is easy to work with and one cone can make a lovely shawl or scarf and hat.
Soft to the touch, I’ve already knitted up a fan and feather stitch stole and am currently working on a double layered hat. The eggplant color is rich and a perfect neutral for my wardrobe with just enough warmth of tone to be transitional. The gray blue is true to picture, though I’ve yet to test swatch for perceived color shift.
I often purchase this yarn for large projects. It’s soft, luxurious and works well with other natural fiber yarns. Easy to work with and excellent results !
This yarn is very soft, and though it's fluffy I can still see where the center is. The dye is very good and very even on these yarns.
So soft and gorgeous!! Haven't knit with it yet, but super excited to! For the price and how much yarn you get? Absolutely worth it.
It’s lovely yarn to work with. I use it in Deflected Double Weave scarves.
So far, so good. I’m holding it with a 100% light fingering merino as I knit a sweater. So far I’ve done only the swatch (washed and block), and am now sketching out my sweater design.
