Very Nice
Really enjoyed working with this yarn. Saw some people complain about it getting thinner/thicker in places, which it does do, but it was not as much of a problem as I feared. I used it to make a scarf and the finished product has excellent drape and a wonderful texture (the acrylic takes out just enough of the scratchiness from the wool). Really one of the nicest scarves I've made yet. My only real complaint would be that I wish the skeins were just a bit longer. I wasn't surprised at the finished length, but as expected it will take probably another half-skein if I want the scarf to have a more typical length. Not sure why they chose such a 'barely enough' approach for a one-ball scarf yarn, but again, it isn't a problem as the result is still a wearable scarf.
