Gorgeous yarn that works up beautifully
I made a sweater from this beautiful yarn and I'm so impressed with it. Most 100% cotton yarn is not easy for me to use. This yarn has a little more give - probably has a longer staple length. At any rate, the colors are lovely and the yarn is a dream. Works up very quickly, too.

Absolutely Gorgeous Base
TMLTT is simply stunning. It is incredibly squishy and knits up like a true Aran weight. it takes colro beautifully. I bought several tonal semisolids and they are stunning when knit. The yarn isn't splitty at all. Since this is three strands of TML twisted together, it's incredibly soft and has a great sheen.
My only issues with this yarn are in the put-ups. I've wound four skeins so far and all four were very difficult to wind. I'm a long-time knitter with a swift and winder and I know to pop skeins multiple times before winding. I ended up having to hand-wind each skein. One skein had three knots in it, all relatively close together. That's very unusual for Tosh I rarely come across knots. I wonder if it's because these were so early in the run. I've already shared this with JBW and I know the issues will get fixed. Even taking these into account, it's one of the most beautiful yarns I've ever used.

Koigu = yarn happiness
I love knitting with Koigu KPM and KPPPM. Both have that perfect amount of twist to make lovely stitch definition. They yarn is wonderfully consistent in thickness, lack of knots, and overall quality.
Since each skein is handpainted, there can be some variance in dyes. Just plan ahead when you begin a project and enjoy that!
This particular shade is absolutely stunning: a very dark charcoal grey with occasional pale grey stripes. It's really not a solid, but it certainly is lovely.
Wonderful yarn!

More beautiful than the photo - truly fabulous!
I purchased this because it looked like a good match for my guest bedroom, which is decorated in teal, chocolate brown, turquoise, and mustard. I couldn't have been happier with the selection.
The project knitted up very quickly, and changing yarns and colors always made it interesting. The mohair does shed, so just a warning if you have allergies. I still need to block it, and I'm hoping that helps.
There are many lovely color options, but this one is truly stunning. It's probably one few people would pick, but in person it is glorious.

Beautiful, beautiful yarn
I made a cropped vest out of this yarn last year, and it knit up beautifully. It's also a very quick knit because of size. I didn't have any splitting or shedding issues, either. I hope to make a larger project with it again.

This Yarn Made Me a Debbie Bliss Convert
I just finished the fair isle mittens in Debbie Bliss Magazine #5, and this yarn is simply heavenly. I have allergy problems with a lot of cashmere and merino, but no such issues here. The softness of the yarn is amazing. Stitch definition is very solid as well.
I've already picked out another project in this wonderful yarn.
