Wish it came in DK and worsted weight too
I've always wanted to try this yarn to see why people liked it so much. I bought two colorways just to see the differences in them. The colorways are like being a kid in a candy store, you just don't know which ones to choose, you just know you want them all. I plan on using the colorways to make beaded cuffs

Not a big fan of wool.
Love this yarn, it's a shame it's being discontinued. I've bought several colorways in this yarn to see what the color actually looked like in person before trying the colorway in a more expensive Lorna's Laces line, the sheen to the yarn will be different but the colors are usually the same. The only colorway that I've tried and haven't liked is the Festival of Love, Feb. 2011. The colorway is more suited for November and Fall Harvest than February and Valentine's Day.

Clever little tool
Smooth buttery finish, this little hook is the perfect size to help you fix dropped stitches and slipping multiple stitches over other multiple stitches. It's so small that I do loose it between uses. I think it needs a loop on the end which I would use to slip over my little finger to keep the hook handy. It's a very clever idea, much easier to use than a standard size crochet hook or a tapestry needle, but due to its small size when dropped it's like trying to find a dropped sewing needle in the carpet.

Fell in love with the colorway of this yarn
Tried the Thuderstrom colorway, I needed a black to go with colors in other textured/weight of yarn. I like the feel and texture of this yarn better than I do Colinette Jitterbug yarn and I love Colinette Jitterbug. I've only knitted a swatch sample, but I can't wait to try some other of the delicous colorways in this yarn. Not as shiny as Jitterbug, just the traditional sheen of wool. Not a big fan of wool, I prefer cotton and silk. Just as with the Jitterbug yarn, I might have to knit a pair of socks with this yarn.

Love the colorways in Colinette yarn
Novice knitter/crocher. I've always wanted to try Colinette yarn, but was hesitant due to the price.
I finally treated myself to the CopperBeach and Velvet Plum colorways. I've only knitted up swatch samples to see how this yarn handles.
Great stitch definition and a nice soft hand and sheen to the fabric. Not a big fan of wool or knitting socks but I might have to attempt a pair of socks because of this yarn. I now understand why people love Colinette yarn.

Warmth and softness of wool with the texture/scrunch/warmth of silk. I was skeptical of Noro yarn because of the price and garish colorways. I don't knit socks, so I don't care for the thinner wieghts of yarns. The texture and wieght of this yarn is fabulous. I like the colorway of turquoise/orange/charcoal (muted tones of turquoise/orange that blends with the charcoal) better than the colorway of hot pink/teal (too much bright pink and not enough teal). I made a scarf with the skeins.

First time using Lorna's Laces
Used the colorways Eclipse and Twilight together to make the Litte Green Wristlets for the 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders book. I'm a novice knitter and wanted to do something besides afghans and scarfs. They came out better than I had expected. The yarn does split, but that's and inconvience not an irritant to me.
