A wonderfully soft cotton to work with. While not recommended to machine wash, I found the colorfast excellent when washed on Hot and machine dried. Since I knit a lot of children's clothes, I like to "push" yarns to the limit for ease of care.
I knit with a loose gauge that draped absolutely beautifully.
Gauge used: 5.5 sts and 7.5 rws per 1" (Size US 7 Stockinette) This gauge produced as soft open knit. Perfect for warmer weather.
Could be used as a substituion for Sport Weight yarn (~135 meters/50 gram)
Price of buying on cones, even when not on sale, makes this a economical yarn, without sacrafice of luxury yarn.

It was suggested by a friend to buy this yarn. I made a summer cardigan, and loved every minute of it.
When I was done, I washed it to block it. In the wash the color was running, and it was shedding. I dried the cardigan flat, being careful not to stretch. Still, both the body and the sleeves grew at least 2". At this point I am not sure if I ever going to use this cardigan.

I have a pattern for this but as of yet haven't started it and I have never used it before so I can't give much of a review.

Comments about false Noho:
Excellent product but I heard that it may no longer be carried once it's out of stock. I love this stuff - it's affordable, great colors, and works very well on its own or doubled with weaving yarn. Nice texture.

Comments about false Noho:
It has been discontinued, which makes me sad. I found it works great for bath towels when combined with a warp of nice, soft, thick cotton I found at Paradise, which has also been discontinued and I cant find an adequate replacement for. What's happening?!

Comments about false Noho:
Wonderful yarn for weaving towels and washcloths - soft and absorbent. Very easy to weave with and the texture helps hide any inconsistencies in the weave structure. I love this yarn and am so sad that it's apparently being discontinued.

WEBS customer service and delivery was excellent, as always. Thank you!

Comments about false Noho:
I used this in a woven blanket, mixed with some gorgeous merino one-ply. I wanted the color to interplay, and I loved the fragile texture it added. It really made the project. Since then I've added it to a number of other pieces, and made a light summer shawl out of it using it for both warp and weft. Lovely stuff.

Comments about false Noho:
Weaving blankets for all ages. Soft and light weight, but surprisingly warm. The colors are varied which makes them great for seasonal throws. I understand it is no longer being made which makes me wonder what on earth will replace it.

Comments about false Noho:
This is 1 of my favorite yarns & I'm so sad to see it disappearing I had to order a couple more colors before they're gone. It knits up nicely, machine washes & dries well. The texture gives an interesting difference to lace sweaters.
