Feeling let down
This product was recommended on youtube for crocheting a pair of rainbow legwarmers. I bought 3 skeins: one for each leg plus a spare one just in case. I thought it was expensive, but it was for a present. When the order arrived I was over the moon as the colours looked even brighter and shinier than on screen. When I started crocheting the first legwarmer I fell in love with the luxurious feel of the wool, and as I continued I was really pleased with the colour effects of it throughout. Unfortunately, once I started crocheting the second legwarmer, I encountered a rather upsetting problem, considering the legwarmers are for a special present. Not only the second skein had two different colours knotted together, hence disrupting the colour pattern which the first skein had followed (never mind the fact that you don't want to see a knot in an otherwise omogenous pattern of stitches, which could also compromise the stretch of the garment), but further on some thread had become somewhat detached in a fluffy mess, hence thickening the wool and making the use of the same crochet hook rather difficult (never mind the unsightly look and feel this would give the pattern). Fortunately, I had bought a spare skein, but even more upsettingly this third skein suffered from the same problems as the previous one. So, by this point, I'm even more upset because (due to time constraints for the birthday present) I'm going to have to cut the messed up section of wool. Hopefully I'll have enough to make the second legwarmer the same lenght as the first, otherwise I shall also have to undo the first, oh so perfect one, and reduce its length to match. But starting the second legwarmer further down the length of skein actually means that the colour pattern of the two legwarmers will be different - which I'm not sure whether it will enhance or detract from the overall effect...

Beautiful yarn
Ordered quite a lot as I was making a king size bed cover. It was a little expensive but I couldn’t get the yarn elsewhere & was happy to buy from Amazon, reliable source & delivery was excellent. Great to work with, really soft, colours really popped as the blanket got bigger. Added bonus was the yarn could be machine washed & tumble dried. Win win situation.

Knots easily
Crocheters will understand this - this yarn strands have a fuzz on it that makes it hard to undo a row or a few stitches. It catches on won't let go. The colours are beautiful, but too annoying to work with for me - it fuzzes up more as you go along too, so not a smooth finish

Vibrant and Soft!
Very bright colours! It arrived this afternoon and straight away I had to use it! Made myself a hat but I think I need to buy another ball to make some gloves now as it’s just so nice and soft and bright! The strands split apart quite a bit but it didn’t make a difference to the finished piece.

Nice colours but fuzzes easily
I used this to make a pair of fingerless gloves. Gorgeous colours and very soft and silky yarn but it fuzzes up quickly.Wouldn't recommend it for use in any projects like toys or blankets due to it fuzzing up but would be lovely for hats.
