Solid & Dependable
Used for a hat and it turned out just fine. Cascade is dependable and not too splitty it's a great go-to yarn.

How I Wish
How I wish I could give this yarn more stars, because it's very soft and squishable. But it's so incredibly splitty that it was really painful to work with, and grew by about 17%. If you want to use this yarn, go slowly and for heaven's sake, swatch and block your swatch!

Good for practically anything
I've really fallen in love with interchangeable circular needles as I feel like I can knit anything with them flat or in the round. I love that these needles are made of renewable bamboo. My original kit did not include this particular size, so now my collection is rounded out and I'm very happy.

Very Lovely Yarn
I only give this four stars, out of five, because the twist energy is a bit on the light side and it's somewhat splitty to knit. Also, the yarn shedded like crazy on me - as I was knitting, I'd end up with a lapful of long fibers. But as long as you pay attention, it is a lovely soft yarn, and I'm happily buying more for another project.

My New Favorite Thing
After having gotten fed up with trying to keep my rat's nest of circular needles in check, I decided to bite the bullet and try out an interchangeable set. I bought this set from Jimmy's and couldn't be more delighted. The needles only occasionally come loose and this is probably due to my unwillingness to crank down on the suckers and are obvious when they do, so I've never had an issue. The kit thoughtfully comes with extras of the small, easy-to-lose things such as the tightening key, even though the clutch case has handy zippered pockets to help you keep track of them. It seems like Jimmy's has thoroughly proofed this kit for forgetful people like me and I couldn't be happier.
I have also enjoyed the variety of needles as well. They're well-marked and it's interesting to use the different styles. I would heartily recommend this set to anyone.

Nice collection of colors
I thought this was a nice set of colors for the project at hand the Queen of Thorns Mystery Knit-a-long. It was my first MKAL, and I have to say that any frustration I felt was due to my own inexperience. The yarn itself is very even and sturdy, although I did note that the grasshopper color did bleed a little during blocking. But it wasn't enough to damage the piece. If another MKAL comes along that uses this lace, I won't hesitate to join in!

Solid add-on
I bought this add-on yarn as part of the Queen of Thrones Mystery Knit-a-Long. The yarn is sturdy and easy to use it did not bleed during blocking. I'd be happy to recommend this for fingering-weight projects - my shawlette turned out great!
