Beautiful for accessories
I've not knit with this yarn yet due to an inflamed tendon, but it will be perfect for a potato chip scarf for the fall. Cooler climates will find it perfect for summer scarves, but here, it's already 92 and I want NOTHING around my neck - not even a small necklace!

Haven't used it , but oh, my!
I wiil use this for baby socks when my hand/wrist heals. It's the perfect weight and fiber content for baby socks. I've never been able to knit socks, so I'm oping the mini-version will prove simple enough for me.

If This Yarn Were Bubblebath...
...I would bathe in it. I am not that great knitter, but this yarn makes my pieces look better. I am partial to DK weight anything. It's not as soft as baby yarn, but it holds up better. The color is so luscious that I keep expecting to smell apricots or roses. I did a potato chip scarf with it and bought another skein for my stash with no project in mind so I'll have it when I get good enough to do something more complex.

Rustic cuteness
I used this for a newborn cap. His parents are real back-to-the-Earth types and I wanted to make sure it was Earth-friendly but still very soft. It was a little more difficult to knit with since it was cotton and bamboo, but since it was such a small item, it was fun! One ball was more than enough.

Pleasant between the fingers
I am knitting a summer afghan with this yarn as the basis of my square colors. I knit one with the Noro , then with another yarn. Each time I come back to the Noro, I say, Ahhh! for the feeling and the look of it.

Pretty and flashy but rough
This would be a great yarn for an evening shell IF you intend to wear a camisole. I KNOW my skin couldn't handle this rough material. I am knitting squares with it as a part of an afghan with colors based on a Noro yarn. I think after knitting one square that I will have only one. It's not exactly a comfy material. However, if I get bored and decide to give away the squares as washcloths with gift soaps, this square can be paired with a soft one so that this is the exfoliating square. Pretty AND scrubs away dead skin!

Too Stupid to Use This Yarn
TIP: If you're a beginner, do not open this hank without a trained professional beside you. I guess one has to already know how to deal with a hank of wide yarn before buying this one. I laid it out on a flat surface, but once I cut the cords separating the parts and tried to start wrapping the end around the label like the instructions said, it all fell together and now it's just a mess. My local yarn shop isn't that friendly, so I guess I'll just run in there, drop it as a donation, and leave before they realize what hit them. I gave the yarn a three star rating because it's beautiful and soft, but I can't use it and I'm really frustrated.
