Crystal Palace - Mochi Plus Knitting Yarn - Feldspar (# 566)

This is a not a bad review. I think the yarn is absolutely gorgeous. It is nice and soft and the color striping that works up when crocheting is beautfiul. The ladies in my crochet group tried to sneak it out of my bag when we met. I had to rate it a '4' because when I had to gauge and rip it, the fibers melded very quickly and it was quite difficult. Not sure if this was from my inexperience or not. But, I have used yarns that contain a great deal of mohair and didn't have this problem. Needless to say, I stopped my project because I couldn't stand ripping it. You should be able to rip with ease especially if you are in need of guaging your work. Otherwise, I would recommend using this yarn to others with the disclaimer that you should be experienced with working with such intricate yarns and not have to rip as much as I did.

This was my first project ever, and I let my daughter pick the yarn. We ordered it online, and she picked it based exclusively on color. This yarn was simultaneously a godsend and a fool's errand. I plunged into the project blithely ignorant to the fact that it would split while knitting, and pill when wearing. That being said, it's like gossamer moonbeams are sliding through your fingers when you're working with it, and feels like you're wearing ultra-fine kitten down when you're done. Despite coming in balls so small, that it took an entire ball to make a single (size 6 women's) sock, I would absolutely choose it again. :-)

Knitted up beautifully. Like a previous reviewer noted, there is some variation in the size of the strands throughout, some thicker and some thinner than others but even the thin strands are resonably strong. I am a new knitter who tends to knit much tighter than I actually should and I did not experience any breakage in the thinner areas. True, this yarn is a little pricey for the amount you recieve but the price offered here is very consistant with what seems to be the going price that I've found both in store and online.

You will enjoy the hand of this yarn. It is soft, non-splitty, easy to work with and beautiful. There is a lot of middling worsted weight yarns out there, and I think this is a cut above the rest. I feel the same way about the Crystal Palace yarn lines.

I love the yarn. Very soft and workable.Will definitely buy more and try different projects. It's great and fun.

Soft,beautifully colored wool. Fast service. Perhaps a little thin for a #4 weight yarn but worked up nicely.

Creamy, luscious yarn, absolutely beautiful. You knitters know what I'm talking about. This is perfect heavy worsted weight wool that I would gladly wear against my skin.

I loved this yarn, worked up easily and was perfect for the baby sweater project I wanted it for. I would order this again. Love the vendor (Yarn Market) too
