BEAUTIFUL yarn!!! This is my second one bought. I’m allergic to wool, but this doesn’t bother me at all! Yay! Mostly, it looks black…but the blue variegation within this yarn is subtle and gorgeous! I’m thinking that once I finish the huge scarf I’m working on, the dark blue will pop while I’m wearing it, because I wear mostly dark colors.

Knitting finally clicked for me using this yarn! I absolutely love it. It's so soft and is all one proper "strand" so it doesn't split easily even as a beginner when tension is a little too tight and awkward. I made two winter headbands to practice different knitting techniques and absolutely love them!
