- Beautiful colours
- Great combo of drape and bounce. Holds its shape but isn't stiff.
- DK-weight may be less soft than fingering (but I don't have enough experience to confirm that as yet).

- Beautifully, naturally dyed
- Seems quite strong (but wear will tell)
- While I can feel the energy in this yarn, it's not easy on the hands. The yarn doesn't slip on the needles (even metal ones). As such, it can't be my go-to yarn but I will knit with it sometimes.

- Yarn of excellent quality that has beautiful drape.
- It is however, full of alpaca guard hairs and bits of linen that poke out. If prickle is an issue, this yarn isn't for you.
- Quite a light DK. More sport-weight than worsted-weight...
