Simply the Best
This yarn is superb. I am finishing a shawl using two colors.....tern and candlewick. The tones are beautiful, remind me of naturally dyed and handspun singles I once was able to produce. The drape in simple garter stitch is just great the hand of the yarn makes it a pleasure to knit. There is good yardage for the price. I have not found one knot in the two skeins. I have not blocked or washed the garment, but if it performs well there, it will be without flaw. Lovely, lovely, simply the best.

Superb Yarn in color, hand, and performance
This is a superb yarn, great for any project which fits its gauge. Made a hat for my husband which he washed and dried without my advice and it still looks great! Colors are many and all are rich......I was knitting on moss as we were traveling across the mountains and I could see the exact colors of my yarn reflected on the mossy rock surfaces we were passing. I have made 6 projects so far and well pleased with all. A favorite yarn choice for now and future.

Pure Pima Cotton
An affordable yarn with a wide range of beautiful colors.....knits up quickly and has a good drape. One down side I noticed is that the yarn has several plies and a light twist making it easy to snag. I knitted a garment for a 4 year old, so I'm guessing there will be snags-a-plenty after a few wearings....might make a better choice as a yarn for an adult's garment.

I love this yarn! It is real yarn, not some glitzzy and sparkly for the moment yarn. It has a wonderful, soft hand yet provides excellent stitch definition. There is a slight halo with this yarn, most likely the camel content. The colors are wonderful, intense yet somehow mellow. I have used six of the colors and they blend very nicely with each other. I usually knit with a finer gauge yarn than this, but think I will try a Fair Isle technique just to see how the colors blend with each other. I have knitted one project in a pattern stitch, one in intarsia and both were well-served by this yarn. I would give it 5 stars, but I have not yet washed it and want to see how it wears. I expect to be back soon and add another star to the rating! It is my new favorite yarn.
