I use a lot of this yarn. Living in Southern California, cotton yarn is a must. I have made many intarsia sweaters for my grandsons. The Tahki yarn comes in lots of colors and knits up beautifully. I machine wash on delicate and lay flat to dry, and they have lasted well.

Frustrating color availability

It's a beautiful yarn, too bad I can't get it. It works fine. I'm using it for a shirt. I don’t knit, I crochet. I've been waiting for the other colors I need to be in stock for over a month. I can’t work on it, I don’t have the colors. If I can't get them, I have wasted money on what I have already bought. Are those colors ever going to be in stock? There is now not enough time to make it for when I was planning to wear it.

It knits very nicely on my machine. We have used this yarn for many years but it is getting harder to find.

I am using this for amigurumi, which is very tight stitches. I am able to crochet with a 1.75mm hook without the yarn splitting. Wonderful yarn and pretty colors!

Knits up beautiful. I found it to be a bit slippery but does fine with wooden needles.
