This is a gorgeous yarn that stripes up beautifully. Mind you, this is a mini-shawl, the size to fit a doll, so a bigger shawl or sweater would obviously have longer rows, and therefore, more colors per row. I don't usually like boucles, because of the problem of the needle poking through the loops, but this yarn was worth it. It feels good, it looks good, and it's fun to anticipate the color changes as you are knitting.
