Not your average cotton yarn!
I'm not a cotton yarn fan... I just don't like the way cotton functions in a piece. It sags, it's inflexible, there's just no stretch to it and it doesn't hold its shape. But this... this is my new favorite cotton!!! This is absolutely beautiful and even though it's cotton I have thoroughly enjoyed working with it. If I have to use cotton, this is going to be the only yarn I use.

Decent yarn but nothing special
Maybe I was expecting more because of the other reviews, but this yarn isn't anything special at all! It is listed as a fingering weight yarn on the website, but is really a heavy lace weight ʊs opposed to cobweb lace). I'm not going to say I don't like it, because it is a decent yarn, but I'm not in love with it either. There are a lot of other yarns out there, and I think I would prefer to have something silkier, brighter, more glamorous... if I'm going to pay this price for a hand wash yarn!

Beautiful colors for kitchen twine
This is a really PRETTY yarn, but it's kind of stiff and a little hard to work with. I try to remember while I'm reviewing it that it's linen and not kitchen twine, which is what it resembles. It kept shedding while I was knitting with it and although it has good stitch definition it is not at all forgiving and won't hide any mistakes. For the right project I think it would be delightful... Tunisian crochet, perhaps! For knitting, it's kind of a pain in the rear.

Can't say enough about this yarn!!
This yarn is amazing!!! I could write for hours about how great it is and still not give it enough credit. It's soft without being overly slippery, it has fantastic stitch definition, and makes beautiful lace without pooling. LOVE, LOVE LOVE!

So-so yarn
I have been working on beaded shawls and I chose this for the color and little bit of fuzz from the alpaca. Unfortunately, it tends to split and the feel of it isn't what I had hoped for. With high end yarns you can't tell when they use acrylic... with this one I can. It's not a bad yarn, but it's not great either. I probably won't use it again.
