I am so mad. This yarn did not felt at all. After a $100 Purchase I am so disappointed to have to toss the Remaining 3 skeins and my Hat. |

Make sure you get all of one dyelot or ask the JBW reps to match your order by eye. For the colorway I purchased, now-disco-d Champion #65, there is massive differentiation between balls of yarn. I'm lucky I was able to get all of one lot, and that they all match, but the color I received is a cooler shade of red, as opposed to a warmer shade as pictured. When looking on Ravelry there is massive variation in this colorway as well. I really liked the brick red color but I'll make due with the shade I received. I haven't knit it up and washed/blocked it yet, but since it is red I do expect there to be some bleeding, even with machine-dyed yarn. I know this yarn is prone to pilling as well, as I've seen balls for sale at my LYS in a bin that get tossed around a bit and they look a bit ragged and fuzzy on the outside. I don't care much considering it will be used for a men's scarf and he'll likely spill beer on it or salsa or tomato sauce or something anyway, and not take great care of it so I'll just be lucky if he doesn't lose it. |

I bought 17+ balls for a nice couch throw for the winter, and in every single ball, there was a knot join randomly in it. It wasn't even always in the beginning or the end, there would randomly be a a knot that can't even be fixed just by untying it, because its a knot to join the yarn together.
It's enough annoyance joining my yarn together for this blanket without having to do it 2 or 3 times extra per ball. |

Sheds a little but otherwise a guick and easy knit. Am using it for winter hats and so far have ordered four times in various colors all of which are very pretty. |
