Full Review

The color changes are incredibly smooth and look much more high-end than typical acrylic gradients.

Surprisingly soft texture that doesn't have the 'squeaky' feel often associated with synthetic yarns.

One ball is often enough for a small shawl or a child's garment due to the large 150g size.
