Personal opinion:

Really love the fact that they have a wide variety of colors. It is unfortunate that they do not have that much ready stock. But luckily, i always like at least one of their available stock, so, so far i'm ok.

The yarn itself is quite soft. I didnt feel it when i first touch it, but i always think that before it became a fabric (knitted) i always give the faith that it will be good. I was right: It is good and soft after i knitted it.

I dislike the fact that the yarn is not 'clean' and evenly spun. Lots of fibers trapped in the yarn spun and some of the parts is not fully spun (you can still see that they are fibers, instead of a strand of yarn). It's worrying since i dont know whether the yarn is strong enough when i block it. If the yarn is clean and evenly spun, i'll give 5 out of 5. Especially, because when i wind my hanks, i didnt find any knots on all the hanks, which should give that 5 star rate.

Blocking

Double blocking applied. Wet block and reblock by further expansion and steam.

Material is not stretchy when wet.

Will i use this yarn again?

Yes

Will i recommend this yarn?

Only for those who doesn't mind the unclean spun yarn.
