Cute and Useful
I love the JBW logo's colors and this is a very useful tape measure to boot.

Lovey gradient changes
This is a lovely, thinner yarn. I adore the gradual color changes. I've used these to make the Quadripple Blanket, the Indigo Shrug and now the Nya Infinity blanket. Whirls work up with a lovely drape and the color gradient changes are so smooth.

Beautiful publication and projects
This is my second Scheepjes Bookazine and I love it!
One note, the photo of the Leaves scarf the one when it is not being worn has a color effect or filter on it. The yarn is brighter than that photo suggests. An experienced user of Scheepjes Stone Washed would probably pick that up quickly.

First time using Stone Washed, I like it
This is a very nice yarn. I don't know of another cotton yarn with acrylic halo. The color selection is cheerful and varried!
One unexpected thing - while working with it, I would get the same itchy face feeling I get when working with wool. I think it is the acrylic halo fibers getting in the air as I work. Not an actual problem, simply unexpected.

Excellet hook, made all the difference
THIS 2.0 mm hook is AMAZING!! It holds the thread like it should and I am now making great progress on a complicated pattern. Comfortable too!
I have been working on the Scheepjes 2020 CAL but using the Maxi Sugar Rush thread instead of yarn. The first 2.0 mm hook I used would constantly drop the yarn at high tension moments. I didn't know hooks could varry so much in effectiveness.

Flawed
I really like the idea behind the SmartStix. This is the first one I've ever tried. Unfortunately, the one I received is flawed: it's too flexible and is actually developing a significant bend at the thumb rest and I'm afraid it will break in two, the 1 inch markings are not all 1 and it's not even a full 6 long. I'm still using it until I can order a different hook.
