I must first confess, I HATE cotton. I do not hate this yarn. It has enough acrylic in it to make it much nicer, to my hand, than pure cotton. It makes a beautiful fabric, suitable for winter wear for those who don't like wools, but equally nice for a quick spring/summer sweater, as well. I was surprised by how much I liked this, and for a cotton-hater, that's saying something!
