A lovely, soft yarn with great stitch definition!
This yarn is wonderfully soft, so it is very nice for projects which will be worn next to the skin, and the stitch detail is lovely for stranded colourwork.
I got this particular colourway to coordinately with Cascade Heritage Wave in the Plume colourway...the colours were so close as to be nearly indistinguishable.

Fabulous Stuff!
I've recently finished a cardigan in Hunter's Green, and have decided to knit a similar style in Azure. I really like the weight when knit up into a sweater...it's lightweight without being flimsy. This is perfect in the summer in air conditioned buildings and cool evenings, and in the winter it will be nice indoors. The appearance of the yarn is a bit nubby and somewhat tweedy, but more upscale than casual, with beautiful stitch definition. I've washed my sweater in the machine on the delicate cycle, then handblocked...the results are gorgeous!

Miserable to knit with!
T bought this yarn because it was recommended, it was inexpensive, and I liked the Mistletoe colourway. The yarn had no give, no elasticity that one expects with wool. I frogged the socks and used another manufacturer's wool...huge difference!
This yarn will now probably be used to knit a toy, or I will just give it to someone who isn't as picky as I!
