Our notes

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

Next-to-skin soft: This yarn is wearable next-to-skin for nearly everyone. It's delightfully gentle and soft and possibly even a candidate for baby knits.

Springy and squishy: The four-ply construction gives this plenty of lovely squish once worked up, even when woven. Accessories and garments made from this yarn will be cuddly and cozy.

Gorgeous colors: Especially in Rhiannon, the most popular colorway, the colors are stunning. Vibrant tones really pop in both the semi-solids and the variegated/speckled colorways.

Please note: Certain colors may bleed, especially dark colors and vibrant ones. Always make a test swatch and block it, if you’re concerned about color bleeding. To help reduce bleeding, block with cold water, use color catching sheets in the water, only use one color, or stay away from high-contrast colorwork.
