This is a great yarn for a quick summer sweater like this one. It goes fast, and the color changes are fun. It makes a nice sturdy fabric on size 8 needles.

The patterns (Needful book 304) for this yarn are really cute. It's too bad I don't like the yarn itself. It has all these random strands of what looks like colored grass or straw, but which I'm sure is linen, and they stick out at strange angles. It is not my favorite, by far.
