CONS

  • The soft nature of the fibers can lead to pilling in high-friction areas.
  • Can occasionally split if using very sharp-tipped knitting needles.

Full Review

The stitch definition is incredible; my cables look crisp and professional.

Wonderfully soft for baby clothes and hasn't lost its shape after several washes.

A classic staple yarn that glides off the needles, though you have to watch for splitting.
