Great Color but not as soft and smooth as expected
The color is gorgeous. I've bought Coquette in the Pashmina base. This is equally rich even though the base is different. I am a little disappointed with the feel of the yarn. It is a bit rough. I'm sure in socks it would be fine but, it is rough on my skin in a shawl. That is why I did not give it 5 stars. I need yarn that does not irritate my skin as I have eczema and the rougher texture can result in a huge rash. Usually merino wool is not an issue, but this one is.

Love these cables
I love these cables. They have no memory so I am not fighting them as I knit. The joins between the cable and tips, are so smooth. Yarn does not catch on anything. I highly recommend this style of Red ChiaoGoo cable. I say this because I have also bought the clear cables from ChiaoGoo. The clear cables are not worth buying. They do have memory and I am fighting that all the time. Don't say you were not warned.

Love This Yarn
This yarn is wonderful. It is soft both when knitting and when wearing. The colors are wonderful. I have used both the Coquette and the Arctic. While they look monochromatic and solid in the skein, the variation of the colors gives depth. And it is still machine washable, although I have only hand washed. Knowing it won't felt on me gives me confidence.

Love Interchangeables
These tips work with both my knitter's Pride and Knit Picks cords. They are perfect for all but my most slippery yarns. The only reason I did not give them a 5 star is that the surface eventually wears away. These are replacements for a previous set.

Love these
I love these cords. They work with both my knitter's Pride and Knit Picks interchangeable tips. They are flexible enough to allow me to do Magic Loop so I can avoid dpns. The reason, ther is only 4 stars is that eventually the cords will not stay tightened into the tips. The lifespan of the cords seems to be 2 years. I have had them unscrew and I have even Had the cable break. So be prepared to replace cords with 2 years of constant use.

Awesome Yarn but Expensive
I used this yarn to make a shawl for myself. The yarn is wonderfully soft and drapey. The only downside is the expense. I needed two skeins for the shawl and had trouble justifying the expense. I know you get what you pay for, so if I could have given a 4.75 for the yarn I would have.
