Pure decadence!
The ONLY negative I have to say is that the suggestion to hand wind took me 2 days of stop/start winding :/
Other than that, this yarn is smooth, shiny and BEAUTIFUL. It does grow when blocked, and I tend to knit tight, so that was fun to figure out. But it is so lovely and decadent that I am thrilled to be working with it. I know the final product will be stunning. Also, this color, je'adore!

A fun way to sample yarns
Hello, my name is Kristina and I am a yarnaholic.
But seriously, I do get a little crazed when it comes to yarn, and especially when there are sets. I got my first bag in November and thought, Oh cute yarn, but what am I going to do with this?
I put it to the side and then received December, where upon I did the same thing as the November bag. I have slowly been accumulating all the bags and debating what I wanted to do with all these beautiful little samples of yarn. I just received my March bag, and it finally occurred to me what I want to do with all these little tastings.
I am going to use them to make swatches to file into a personal yarn library. This way I can have a reference of how all of these beautiful yarns feel/knit up/look like. For me, it feels like a great way to have visibility on yarns I may not have tried and also get to know some yarns I may not have considered otherwise.
In addition to the great yarn, I LOVE the extras that are put in the bags. I have really loved the tools/accessories that are sent, and I find I put those items to immediate use.
I guess this very long review is to say, I am really enjoying my Beanie Bags, though it took me a while to figure out what to do with them :D
