Using this to create a lace trim for a skirt. This yarn is delicate but robust (I have knit with it previously). As there will be a considerable amount left I will be using this with another colour to make a lace shawl.

Bought this yarn to add a lace border to a completed tunic ,which is shorter than I'd hoped when worn. Quality of yarn appears good, can't wait to get it on my needles.
I love the look and feel of the fabric made by this yarn, but there is no way under Heaven that it knits anywhere near the stated gauge of 4.25 st. per inch! On size 4 needles, I was still getting a gauge of 7-8 st. per inch., and any larger needle size is simply going to make a lacy fish-net...not what I'm after at all! I had purchased this yarn to work up the Tripartite vest by Stephen West. Without substantially rewriting the pattern...and purchasing double the amount of yarn I've already...
Ito products are equal to Habu and better priced. Love Knitting had more colors than I'm used to seeing.
