This is a new yarn for us and this is my first test.I found this yarn easy to work with. It is soft, has a bit of texture, and the metallic adds a bit of pizzaz. Since we have a small quantity at this time we dyed it in three nearly monochromatic colors to work with the vest pattern I designed (comes free with yarn purchase), and Kelp which has a bit more variation for the next vest (coming soon) which is knit side to side. This is the first of our retail only yarns.
