This is a super fast knit.

Comments on the Artesia: I tried a few different patterns specific for artesia, but couldn’t work with the yarn. It was like thread. I don’t know how they got a “bulky” weight out of this. I took a few pictures to show, it’s just thread with a bit of fuzz here and there.

Not too long after the first skein of swish bulky, 137 yards, the artesia started to have a bit more fuzz and less thread bare. So maybe my issues were a result of manufacturing and that first 200 yards or so are just waste. There is a distinct difference in the quality. I almost tossed the first 4 feet of scarf, so I could redo with the section of artesia that I believe is the correct quality, but I did not have enough swish bulky to redo. There is little chance of reclaiming yarn with this fuzz. As sparse as it was, the few times I tried to think, was miserable.
