Nice finish but not my preference
I bought a bag of 10 for $10, figured how could I go wrong. It is mostly a cotton blend and has some nice bling effect so it is a pretty accent. I bought to knit a poncho type wrap but ended up using on a scarf knit for a hockey team fan. I would use this as an accent yarn, it is a bit rough to the touch when knitting but once knit it is softer to the touch. I just prefer using yarns with some merino, cashmere or alpaca mixed in for softness. I would also add knitting a garment in this yarn you will get some stretch to it but no rebound.

Love this yarn, easy to work with
I bought this yarn to make some scarves for hockey team fans, using the team colors. It knits nicely and is easy to use. 4 skeins, knit flat made great team color scarves. Knit on US8, 50 sts wide. Be sure to use garter stitch or seed stitch on edges as it is a soft yarn and will curl/ roll on edges. I would also use this yarn for baby blankets or items since it is soft and with some wool content warm, a little cashmere for softness and nice hand.

Beautifully Soft, LOVE this yarn!
Bought in Dusty Teal, this yarn is so soft and easy to work with. 70% alpaca so you will get a slight fuzz which is what I wanted. I am knitting a Red Heart pattern, Pull through wrap LW 1978 5 hanks with US 8 $ US 9. Seed stitch, cables and it looks beautiful and will be great warmth for winter with this alpaca yarn. One of my favorite yarns to knit with for a beautifully knit scarf, wrap.
