Beautiful soft and easy to knit. I gave it 4 stars because is only 44% of natural fibers, but i was captivated from the colors and the tweedy effect., and it's almost 200 meters each ball. In fact my 4 skeins mustard yellow were enough to make a shawl. Next I'm going to make a sweater, with the blue one.

Soft and luxurious yarn
Beautiful yarn at a great price. It arrived promptly after ordering, was better than anticipated. I knitted a beanie hat in cable stitch as a gift. It worked really well.
Soft and luxurious yarn
I bought this lovely yarn to knit a beanie hat with a cable stitch. It is beautifully soft and worked perfectly on a double knitting pattern. Really lovely quality.
