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.
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.
I love this yarn. It is the first time I have worked with Lace and it took me a couple of times to get used to it, but it does work up easily. I had to be careful because the yarn does split but it looks wonderful.
A nice soft strong yarn

This yarn was exactly as described and has been wonderful to work with.
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.
