I wasn't sure about this yarn when I first bought it, because it's a little scratchy and the balls are only 50g, and at this point I'm used to working mostly with soft merino 100g wool skeins. BUT after working on a shawl for a few days with this yarn, I REALLY like it. It is super light but very warm, fuzzy without getting overbearing like some mohairs, and I love the subtle tonal color variations! The core has a shiny material that peeks through with light and movement, and really lends the finished product a bit of glamor. Definitely recommend!
