Soft yarn for cozy beanies

Valley Yarns Granville is a gorgeous blend of Pima cotton and Merino wool that is fantastic for warm-weather garments like t-shirts, tanks and cardigans. Colorwork and textured stitches will shine with Granville, so go bold with a summer weight shawl or make a lacy stole that will steal the night!

I like the drape and hand feel of the knitted up pieces (the 10 % merino softens the feel of the cotton) but the yarn is somewhat splitty, and required special care for the lacework portions.
