This is not a very soft or silky smooth finish. This is the main thread. If you need a silky fabric and can afford it, I would go for it. I made a scarf out of it although it was a bit scratchy. I live on a budget. And in winter I don't care about thorns, I prefer it warm when I dig outside. This is the average thickness. He's definitely not fat. I knew this when I bought it, so I bought two to double the yarn when knitting into my scarf. It turned out great. I was delighted to find solid black in this affordable yarn line. Where I live it's almost impossible to find black yarn. All shades of gray are available but black appears to be an endangered yarn.
