I love this yarn - good structure and bounce, but still soft and silky. The color is deeply saturated, with just a little bit of shine. Because it's fingering weight, I knit double-stranded. I ran out of yarn before I even began the top shaping, so I finished it up much more quickly than the pattern called for, completing all of the decreases in just a few rounds. I love how it turned out, but I'd also like to finish off the pattern as written (next time I find two skeins of fingering weight yarn that I can't resist!)
