Fantastic product, highly recommend

fantastichighly recommend

I love this yarn for its softness, thickness and overall usability. Has good stitch definition also. It does tend to split, but I can overlook that. Others may find it annoying. Has nice drape. I use it to make decorative throw rugs.

This yarn washes up into a super soft project. The color did run a little when washed but not any more than I expected.
