This yarn is a pleasure to work with. It does not flake or pill, has a beautiful satin sheen, silky texture and items associated with it feel very strong/durable. This little key case I made was thrown in my car, pockets, purses etc and it didn't bleed or take any visible damage. Honestly, I wish I had more excuses to use this stuff! The only thing is that, like all nylon thread, every time you cut it you have to burn the ends or it will unravel.
