Tosh DK yarn is my go to for this weight yarn especially when I want something hard wearing and washable. This color, Nocturne, is particularly nice, such a deep navy it's almost black.

I was ready to toss a lace shawl I was knitting on my regular Addi Turbo circulars. The stitches kept slipping off my needles and I was having a terrible time trying to do the m1l, m1r, ssk and other stitches. I had knitted the pattern before without a problem but that was a softer, different yarn. This was so frustrating as I was dropping stitches again and again. Just as I was ready to call it a loss, I thought about the Addi Lace Needles and decided to give them a try. Perfect solution! I couldn't believe what a difference they made. I had avoided them because I push stitches with the tip of my finger and I thought the points would be too sharp for that. Not at all. I'm really sold on these for lace knitting with difficult yarn......and thanks for the speedy shipping JBW!

I used this yarn with Shibui Haven and it made a beautiful fabric. I was hesitant to use the yarns held double but there was absolutely no problem with tangling, they held together as one. I was also afraid the Silk Cloud might be a little fragile but it was just the opposite. It had a real tensile strength which surprised me. It provided just a little halo to the Haven which caught the light and also added softness. Very happy with the result.

I used this yarn with Shibui Silk Cloud and it made a delightful fabric. It was deliciously soft and light and made a lovely hat. They two yarns really enhanced one another.

Once again, I will say that Tosh Light is my absolute all-time favorite yarn. Oh, I buy other yarns, I knit other yarns, but this is simply the best......the best colors, subtlety, hand, wearability......and Jimmy Beans Wool is the best place to buy Tosh Light......all works together!

The more I knit with this yarn, the more I love it. If I could only have one yarn in my stash perish the thought!!! it would be Tosh Light. Colors are vibrant, yarn is a delight to knit and wear. The best!

I was disappointed with this yarn. The color was not what I had expected to see.....it seemed grayed out, sort of like a white shirt which has been washed too many times. As this is a hand dyed yarn, although the color I selected was a pastel, I expected it to be clear and clean, pink or peach with cream.....it was not. The description said it could adapt to many different needle sizes but when I knitted it on a needle two sizes smaller than the recommendation, the resulting fabric was stiff and unpleasant I ripped out the project and don't know what I will do with the yarn now. This is an expensive yarn. It ought to be great it was not. This was an unusual disappointment from Blue Sky Alpacas as I have always liked the yarns from their company before this one. I will certainly continue to use their other yarns, but could not recommend this one.
