Yummy yarn

This yarn is lucious—smooshy and soft. But I can’t yet tell you about how it knits up or st definition because it’s in my cue for later in the year. Be aware, however, that the color I ordered (flamingo) is not as intense as the picture indicates. I was hoping for coral, but the actual color is a pale pink. I’ll keep it because I like the mission of the company, and the yarn is nice, and although it won’t match my ski jacket, for which it was intended, it will at least coordinate with it.

My favorite Campo item!
