Gorgeous yarn
This yarn is absolutely gorgeous in the skein and knits up into a beautiful fabric. It is a bear to work with on metal needles and is a bit stiff from the cake so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I washed and blocked a swatch and then reused the yarn and it was much nicer to work with so I'll probably soak the next skein before knitting it.

Great concept, easy to use, could be sharper
I love the idea of these and they work well. One end of each needle is sharper than the other but I'd prefer a sharper tip. They are also very slippery so I knit tighter to keep the stitches from falling off. I think a lot of this is just learning curve though. Over all a great product

A delight to work with
I bought a bunch of these off of Wool Watcher and *love* them. The Angora gives a delicate halo. The yarn seems sturdy I'll update my review if the socks next on my queue show otherwise yet is soft and smooth to work with.

Hat making game changer
I love this cable! I got it to test out for hat making and it is a joy. Smooth joins, easy on the hands, makes maneuvering the needles for increases, decreases, other non-stockinette stitches much easier since the cable is so flexible.
I imagine it would be less useful for longer projects since there'd be less support for heavier fabric but for hats it's perfect

Great alternative for vegan or Wool-sensitive knitters.
This is a great yarn and makes a nice fabric. I just finished a Ravello sweater and am so pleased with the result! The yarn is soft and pleasant to work with and knits into a nice, tweedy fabric in stockinette.
A few caveats: there is considerable difference in thickness from one color to the next. It may be lot to lot since each indindividual color is from the same dye lot. The red is the closest to DK, the dark gray to sport, and the Birch to fingering.
The yarn has a thick thin texture so it is a bit delicate in some spots. I had no problem with breakage but I'd read previous reviews so I was careful with the thinner spots.

Soft, vibrant and a delight to knit
I got this to add to my Toshstrology blanket. It is vibrant, soft and behaves nicely. The row gauge doesn't quite match Tosh DK. Even though this is listed as worsted and tosh DK a ... DK ... this is a bit thinner. It may plump up with washing but it works well enough with the blanket and looks great so I'm very happy!
