This is one of my all time favorite yarns. It is soft and gooshy, like I like, but it has memory and bounces back beautifully from the gooshing. Cables just pop with this stuff, as you can tell by looking at the leaves, which stand out from the fabric of the swatch. It is truly a joy to use, and I've already made 2 sweaters with it, with more to come, I'm sure!

This was SO nice to work with! It comes in as a close second to my favorite Karabella Aurora 8. I has about a million plies, and you'd think it would split as you knit it, but it doesn't at all. Very close-to-the-skin soft. This one will definitely be used again in a future project.
