| I love the colors! Love the softness! I love to touch it and imagine what it could be. BUT knitting it is frustrating. It completely falls apart in places. As much as i love the idea of it, I don't like knitting with it. |

| Thank you to all who've knit this up and taken the time to give us your impressions.
I've given this yarn three stars just because stars are required, although I've never used it. The three stars are for the colors, which are wonderful and cannot be dismissed.
I was hesitant when I saw the roving-like quality of this yarn, and further put off by the reviews that consistently listed pilling, fuzzing and too much inconsistency (thick/thin) as attributes. I don't think it will work well for socks.
I also like my "superwashes" to feel and behave like true "superwashes" - I don't think the Mini Mocha will. I'm not sufficiently well-versed in the process of making a "superwash" a "superwash"', but something was definitely lost in the translation with this particular yarn. It looks as though it would felt, and quite well.
Having said all this, I do think it has potential for other projects which don't require as much durability as socks. Something that immediately comes to mind is something using Elise Duvekot's "Knit One Below" (see in Jimmy Bean 'books' - I can't link in this format) in the Column Pattern, and combining the Mini Mocha with a better-plied superwash, or possibly a cotton or silk, also in a fingering weight. This would use the colors to good advantage, and the resulting fabric would be that of a DK or light worsted.
As to price, as long as one dismisses the "superwash" aspect, I think it is very reasonable for colorways this well conceived and executed. |

| Beautiful colors but the yarn is iffy. It is beginning to pill before I finish my shawlette. |

| This is a wonderfully soft yarn. The color variations are beautful. Works up nicely. I've bought several skeins! |

| In person, the colors are even more vibrant than you could imagine. It has a slight variation in the thickness, but I like that in a yarn. I do prefer to crochet with it, rather than knit, but that's just me. |

| I've purchased several skeins of the mini mochi and for the most part I'm pleased with the yarn. |

| I read previous reviews before buying I see what is meant by the thinness of the yarn at points. It worked well for me because I was using a double strand. The yarn is very soft, and the colors are gorgeous. I got a few gasps from my non-knitting co-workers. One other thing, when I washed the mobeius I made with this year, it fuzzed up quite a bit. Even with all that, I would most likely use this yarn again. |
