Love!
I love this yarn! I wanted to make a few scarves for Christmas and wanted something with silk in it. I got the black/gray color way and the purple one. The yarn is heavenly, spongy and soft and it feels so good in your hands. On the scarves, it does a subtle stripe that looks beautiful. I'm almost done with the second scarf, and I can't imagine not knitting with it a little longer so I'm back for more. I think I'll try the dark green and maybe something with pink in it. Highly recommended!

Great for socks!
I'm not entirely sure I agree with some of the other reviews on this yarn for socks. Maybe I got a good couple of balls. I used Rainbow 𨄁) to do a fairly intricate 6 repeat cabling pattern I found in More Sensational Knitted Socks with the way the color has such long, blended repeats it shows off the stitch beautifully. I did the reinforced sock heel and I see no reason why it won't hold up. I only gave it 4 stars because it does tend to fuzz, especially if you are undoing parts because you can't decide on what pattern to do (like me). It also is easy to split the yarn when inserting the needle if you aren't paying attention, causing some of the stitch to not be knitted. It probably annoys some people, but the yarn is so soft and beautiful that I just paid more attention to my needle inserts. It was worth it. Maybe it is easier to use the magic loop on one long circular ʊs I do) with this yarn than switching out on 5 double points? I'm not sure. I know I love my socks, and I just bought two more skeins in Autumn for another pair. I think its worth the extra time for the fabulous end result.
