Overall Magnum Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars (4.1 based on 33 reviews)

1 out of 5 stars (1 out of 5)
Super breakage! I tried to knit with this multiple times and it kept breaking. I have piles of broken yarn laying everywhere. I've tried easing my tension, rolling the yarn in my palms, and just tried working slower. I'm absolutely frustrated. I might have just gotten a bad batch, but I don't recommend this yarn.

So beautiful, I bought two 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
I promised a friend I'd knit him a cowl, and when I saw this color, I knew I needed one for myself. What I'm most impressed with, though, is the great service I've gotten from Jimmy Beans. Things arrive very quickly.

Breakage problem with the purple hank 1 out of 5 stars (1 out of 5)
This yarn is beautiful and soft. However, I have had problems with breakage and weak places in the strand. It completely pulls apart and has been very frustrating knitting a scarf and most recently a hat to match for my sister. I contacted customer service and it was suggested I wind the yarn from the end of the hank rather then the beginning. It didn't solve the problem.This is the second purchase I have made of this particular yarn and I am having the same problem.
