Full Review
The depth of color in the tweed flecks is stunning and adds a professional finish to simple knits.
Surprisingly soft against the skin for a tweed yarn; the angora really makes a difference in comfort.
Knits up very consistently, though you must be careful with tension as the yarn has little stretch.
