Soft Silky Fingering Lace Weight Silk Yarn - Perfect for Creating Cardigans, Sweaters, Socks, Shawls - Exotic Rainbow

I really wanted to like this yarn... the reviews are great, and the last experience I had with recycled silk yarn was pretty bad, so I had high hopes.In any case: this yarn is soft. That is 100% right. Softer than I expected, and I have no complaints about the softness.Unfortunately, the spinning was just off. About half of this was totally fine, uniform width and stuck together fairly well, but at some point it just became very uneven in terms of thickness, and the fibers weren't bound tightly enough. This resulted to a lot of yarn breakage and it was pretty much impossible to work backward to fix mistakes. Just bad.In addition, there are little fuzzies on all of it too... in the untouched yarn, and they form easily on the finished product as well.There were also little slivers of... something in the yarn. See the top right photo - it's on the top stitch on the right vertical needle.And... the dye comes off very easily, turned my fingers blue. I got the "enchanted forest" color, and the colors really don't flow right - nothing like the picture shown.If you twisted this yarn really well as you were knitting, and you didn't need uniform stitches, this yarn would probably be fine.I'm really hoping I just got a bad skein. I may try another color, because this yarn IS really soft, and the other colors (customer photos in particular) look really nice.

This is a very nice single ply (closer to roving) yarn. The yarn is of a thick-and-thin consistency. Would have rated it all 5 stars if not for the inuniformity of colour lines: if you want to make something requiring a decent amount of yarn, do try to buy all at once or else you might end up with yarn of different colour saturation and tint. Like purchasing this yarn knowing that my choice makes a difference in lives of needy people. Looking forward to more natural yarns from this seller. Thank you!

This is a lovely yarn - colors are vivid and beautiful, and it is pleasant to work with. Great price for silk - even if it is recycled, which makes it even a happier choice!

Beautiful jewel tone colors. Very soft. Fast shipping. I love this yarn!

Colors and silk are very good quality.

Am in process of crocheting a scarf.

Love it. Its beautiful.

Started knitting with this yarn and it shredded four stitches in. I tied the shredded ends together and continued. I won't be ordering any more of this yarn even though it is beautiful and the colors so intense. I hope the little sweater I'm knitting will not have lots and lots of knots in it.
