Really like this yarn
(5 out of 5)
I do like this yarn, very much, but I was disappointed in the color. It is a lot grayer than it looks online. It is a nice weight and has a nice hand. I cannot knit with wool, so my options are very limited but I plan on knitting with it in the future. I am disappointed that it does not come in Ecru. Its baby sister Summerlite 4-ply does however, so I am going to give it a try, It'ss needle size is US 2, not my favorite as it goes so slow, but I've ordered some to try.
I chose this in 5 colors to weave on a rigid heddle loom. I like the weight and the sheen. I didn't love that so many skeins had tied knots in the middle, but they didn't interfere too badly. I'd use it again.
