Feels great
Have had to postpone my project, but wound the first FLAWLESS skein: very promising! Smooth and long-staple yarn. Will report again after swatches have been knitted and tested.

Enjoyed working with this yarn
I chose this yarn in Unicornio as I wanted a less variegated and dark color so that lighter colors worn underneath would make the pattern pop - Artesian shawl by Romi Hill - and it did. Love the result and softness of the shawl. The color is perfect to wear with jeans as it is a subtle blue with some lighter beige shading. I used only one skein, expecting the shawl to be a little smaller than the pattern suggested. Two skeins and adding stitches to the pattern would have been best. Four stars because I haven't worn it often enough to judge.

Love the Rockets
The Addi Rockets are truly fast and couldn't be any better!
I still enjoy needles I bought in Germany 40+ years ago, as they are performing excellently, but I needed longer circular ones for shawl projects. Glad to have bought these and will continue to buy Addi if I need different sizes.

Lovely Yarn
My earlier review on the yarn's smoothness holds up. I have wound and used 7 out of 9 purchased skeins and so far there was only one joining knot and a tiny one within the strand. As I used my Passap and stockinette stitch, I discovered the latter much too late. Thankfully it settled on the wrong side of a large wrap. Am currently hand-knitting a braid pattern to create a decorative edge and find it extremely pleasant to work with.
Color Sand Dune is very neutral, wonderful with the silk sheen. Wishing for more time to make something in one of the other beautiful colors.

Lovely Yarn
I have only wound one skein so far for my test swatches and found it to be perfectly smooth. For stockinette stitch the smallest needles provide the best result with a subtle sheen. I did a small swatch on my Passap and loved it the most.
