Review on Enhanced SEO: Knit Picks Stroll Hand Painted Merino Sock Yarn in Poppy Field Tonal by Karla Richter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Non "pearl " and fluffy fiber

I have ordered several balls of KnitPicks and am happy with them. Today I received "Pearlescent Tonal" and was not satisfied. To me, the name "Pearlescent" describes a fairly white color with a pearly sheen. I ordered a Bare Glimmer last time and it had shimmering fibers in it. He really shined! But "pearl" is completely flat. Colors are off-white ("blank" or untinted color) mixed with very light gray. Gray can have warm gray tones and cool gray tones. I took many photos in different lighting conditions to capture the color. Maybe I would call it a "river shell" color rather than "pearl". The real disappointment is that the fiber looks like a ball of yarn after being carried around in a bag for a project for 3 months. The fiber is wrinkled and fuzzy. Unfortunately, although comfortably soft (unlike their Hawthorne fiber), this strand has taken on less wear and tear. :(Maybe someone sent it back before I received it, also unhappy with the misleading description/color label.

Pros
