I cuddled with this yarn…a lot. It drapes beautifully, too. I knitted both the Simple Knitted Bodice and the Sahara with this yarn (in Morroccan Blue and Gloxinia, respectively), although I’ll probably rip up the bodice (turned out too big, but then I wasn’t trying it on as I knitted – beginner’s optimistic mistake, lesson learned). You get great stitch definition with this yarn and the yardage is one of the most generous out there when it comes to silk yarns.
Now, I was trying to save a buck (or many, in this case), by substituting Asteroid (also beaded) for Rock Star, but I’ve now learned my substitution (yarn) lesson, too. This yarn was so much thicker than the Pure & Simple, that it only worked to use it for the purl rows. Beautiful yarn, though. Next time I can afford it, I’ll use Disco Lights (because of the yardage) instead.
Now, the only problem for me will be blocking it, since I don’t want to ruin the yarn (and I’ve never blocked before), I’m extra apprehensive about it (or getting it right, rather).
