not for the beginner knitter that I am
I love the shades in that yarn, but the "curliness" of it makes it harder for me, as I just started knitting. Fibers get pulled easily and I am afraid my shawl will look like the cats had fun with it once I am done. It is very warn, though, and will make a very nice piece, if I can manage to finish it.
