Fun, surprising, mysterious

I love the yarn! Beautiful, rich colours and soft as can be. I also love the mystery of not knowing what colour and pattern is coming next. My only slight complaint (and it’s not the end of the world) is that some of the instructions are a bit tough to follow. I’ve knitted literally hundreds of items in my time and this pattern is not always the easiest. But persevere - the results are amazing!

Lovely yarn

Biscotte's fingering yarn is strong and wonderful to work with. Very pleased.

AWESOME

Yarn is gorgeous and the pattern is so fun, can't wait to post a picture when I am done

Not the Colors I Expected

The yarn itself is nice enough, but the colors were not what I saw in the photo on the website. I was expecting a skein of very pale, slightly pink with hues of green and grayish blue. What I received was a combo of pale cream and medium taupe, like the pictures of the Merino Worsted Brooke. So I returned it in exchange for a different yarn.

Beautiful color and feel

The color works up beautifully. I did a swatch with two different patterns and was not disappointed by either. The feel of the yarn while knitting on my hands was so nice. Socks will soothe special someone’s feet.
