Review update

Yarn has lovely st definition. Used a size 4 for a cabled hat (Golden Autumn by Lucy Sweetland, size S); was enjoying the knitting so much that I kept going when I should have reduced the pattern by one repeat to fit me better. Will just wear it extra-slouchy. Bought a second skein to make hat to add a complementing cowl. It is exceedingly warm: tested on a 7 degree day in MN with unusually high winds. Cozy.
Would purchase again. Shipping was lightening fast!
