Quality comments:
Wonderful yarn with a great hand. Feels lanolin-rich and works easily.
Other comments:
great color range. When I called to order this yarn, the order-taker said she had used it to substitute for Rowan Magpie Tweed, which is what I needed for my pattern. I went up from the size 8 needle suggested by the pattern to a size 9 and have been able to maintain the gauge.

Quality comments:
No knots, yarn separates some, but not much. Color fast.
Other comments:
Gauge is for Shadow Rib--see Knitting the New Classics . Good yarn for making raised designs like aran sweaters. Cables pop out and look great. Do not know how this yarn washes. Will use it again. Company is in Ohio and does mailorder. Also has a web site: bendigo@netwalk.com
