Lovely and soft. But beware, it can felt in the wash, I would recommend hand wash only.

Good on a budget 4 out of 5 stars (4 out of 5)
This yarn is a good choice for a novice sweater knitter like me. It's affordable and has good yardage. Made in US and I haven't found any knots in the middle! It feels a bit rough, but blocked becomes very soft. Occasioally splitty, but not awful. And super wash to boot! I'll use it again for sure.

Sooooooft 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
Made a cardi to wear to yoga class, and it is so soft. Yarn was very pleasant to work with. Bought more for a cowl because of this!

Quality yarn at a good price. 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
I am unable to knit with 100% wool yarn due to allergies. It's nice to find yarn that makes my project look good without paying too much.
