wonderful beautiful yarn
I got this in sea breeze to make a scarf and fell in love with it, I then quickly ordered the same color but in the For better or worsted weight.for a throw As with the other this is beautiful to work with, has great stitch definition, color is like my monitor shows it a real sea blue! I have frogged this yarn and no problems.
Both yarns are so soft and no problems winding and no knots.
I know it is not cheap but it's the only yarn I have found that is on the high end and worth the money. So many well known popular yarns do not live up to their name IMHO. I cannot imagine anyone saying this yarn is not worth the price.
If you need a heavier weight I can also recommend the For better or Worse weight. Right now I am working on 2 projects one with each yarn and they are such a joy to work with.
Sorry if I went on, but this is the 1st yarn in a long time that I have been excited about.
Thanks girls at JB's for helping me with this.

Love This Yarn
This is one of the best yarns I have ever knitted with and I have tried all the so called best. Because I did not play with the stitches in my project before hand something I usually do with more complicated patterns I have had to frog several times and no problem with this yarn! It is so soft and stitches show up great. It also was no problem winding and no knots!
I got the color sea breeze and was a little leery since I have found so many blues don't photograph well and end up be muddy looking. Not this one, it is just as it appears on my screen.
a beautiful shade of sea blue! Thank the girls at JB's with all their help with this one. Jimmy Beans is the best place to shop!

Nice yarn but......
This is a nice yarn, colors are great but I don't like the feel of recycled silk. This yarn splits easily. Maybe it will soften with a wash. If you like the rough feeling of recycled silk you will like this yarn. It is just my personal taste that I prefer yarn that feels good going through my fingers!

Not sure
I love the idea of the swirl coats, but the charts scared me! I need to sit down and actually read the beginning of this book before I decide if I am up to trying one of the many beautiful patterns. I'll have to get back to this review sometime in the future after I have had some time to digest it!

One of the best
I haven't knitted anything from this yet but there are at least 3 patterns if not more that I want to knit from this book. Will have to find substitute yarns however since I don't like Rowan's All Seasons Cotton 2 patterns I like call for it. the various patterns use it as well as cotton Glace, Pima Cotton, Sienna, Handknit cotton,kid silk haze, & Lenpur Linen.and I might have missed a couple
There is crochet as well as knit. I may do a couple in a cotton yarn, but I think for the beautiful cardigan I will use a wool/cotton blend. Kim Hargreaves outdid herself with this one and well worth the price.
