Great yarn!
I really like this yarn a lot. It's got a beautiful sheen to it, and I love the luster it gives the finished product. It definitely has a hint of luxury from the silk, and it ups the wow factor of almost any project- I've used it to make baby bonnets, and it works really well in that application. I only have two minor complaints the first is that the yarn tends to lose twist as you work with it, so you have to be careful. The second is that the colors aren't quite as pure as they appear on screen: the cream was beautiful, but ⊺llet slipper"- which I thought would be a pure pale blush pink- had some grey tones to it that muddied it a bit. Overall I'd say it is definitely worth a try, especially if you want some of the look and feel of silk without the hefty price.

Fantastic
This is definitely one of my favorite yarns to work with. It works up fantastically: it maintains its softness while giving great stitch definition. I also LOVE how big a hank you get for the money! I've finished about 6 smaller projects so far with just one skein ʊn adult beret, several baby hats and bootie sets), and I still have more left over! I'm going to enjoy trying all the different colors offered, and I'm only sorry I can't try them all at once!

Best cotton I've worked with!
This isn't my all-time favorite yarn, but if you're looking for a good cotton that works up nicely and comes in a variety of colors, I would recommend this one. It doesn't have the tacky feeling that some lesser-quality cottons do, and it's still a decent price. A note, though: since cotton doesn't have the elasticity of some other yarns, it can be difficult to shape.
