Our notes

After making a few of our own projects with this thread, here's what we've found:

Elastic and springy: Starry Sock has a surprising amount of elasticity once it's knit up or crocheted. Size your needles or hook down to get a more dense fabric if desired.

Vibrant, saturated colors: Celestial Wool and Fibers doesn't disappoint with these richly dyed colorways. Each skein is truly unique, and even the more neutral shades have a lot of depth of color.

May be splitty with sharp needles: If you've found you're prone to splitting yarn, or prefer extra-sharp lace needles, you may find it easy to split this yarn.

Great stitch definition: Stitches are crisp and easy to see, in all of the crafts we used to swatch this yarn.

Locally dyed: All of Celestial Wool and Fibers' yarn is dyed right here in the Monterey Bay Area.
