[Cathy]

Hi yarn lovers,

 

I purchased four different colors of this yarn and can hardly wait to begin a project using it. it
feels soft and sturdy. A special bonus is that the colorway descriptions are so vivid. they even
let you know which colors go with each yarn. enjoy. As usual  I am happy to share my own research
with you.
