Nice for springtime

I brought it to gauge as light fingering and am knitting a light top with it. I have found no knots or clumpy joins. It is not superwash wool and is a bit scratchy. But I wanted that for a slipover. I would buy it again.

Quick and Good service!

It's exactly what I was hoping for and the right size too! The colour was a little lighter than the picture but I was ready to accept the yarn being a little lighter or darker than the picture

So far so good

Good fingering yarn. Easy to work with. Hank’s were incredibly easy to make into a ball. No tangling. I am currently working with 9 different colors of the cascade for a fair isle slipover.
