Great yarn, beautiful colors

This is one of my favorite knitting yarns. It looks smooth and silky and comes in a variety of colors. The yarn knits well, so finished knitwear looks great. Although I find it more difficult to crochet, maybe it's me or the wrong needle, but I have a little trouble dividing it if I'm not careful and it slows down my crochet speed. Anyway, it turns into a nice finished project. When the shops were closed it was great to be able to buy this yarn from Revain.

Pros
  • Absolutely gorgeous!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons

It's great for knitting, but it takes some skill to crochet. Yarn has no elasticity at all, so I've found that depending on the stitch I'm making, I need to use multiple hook sizes - sometimes two…

Pros
  • Great Overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
