Good for cold weather hats and scarves
beautiful color,one skein with knots, other three fine. Sheds a bit but overall a long seed stitch scarf is perfect.

Will not buy again
Bought the Americana on WW and knitted a hat for a friend. Soaked it in cold water with white vinegar to set the colors before mailing and it stretched out until it was huge on me-had been a little tight prior to that. There was no bleeding of colors in the cold soak-but then tried to shrink it to original size in hot water and it bled terribly and also would not shrink. It seemed that the loose twist straightened out once it was in water and did not return to the original after drying. So this is a cautionary tale-would not use it on anything that has to fit.

A bit pricey for what it is
Don't get me wrong- I love the rustic look of this and enjoyed knitting it. It was perfect for Benjamin Matthews Lavanda Cowl and I did order a third skein to finish, with lots left over. Please be sure when pulling these skeins that you check under the ties to be sure that there is not a solid white space underneath. I was able to work around it for the fringe,but otherwise would have had to return it. And while it was soft, a beautiful color and worked up well,still would not pay full price for it-only WW. ,
