I love the way the yarn looks when it's knit up! However, it's very stiff on the needles--no give whatsoever--which can slow down the knitting process. It also has a dry, papery feel, which some people may not care for. Still, the finished product is worth it, I think.

Beautiful tweed yarn. Yarn has no give on the needle so those who knit tightly will have to loosen their tension. The resulting fabric has a beautiful texture (especially in st-st). The yarn is not completely debris free; I experienced very small bits of vegetation caught in the stands (easily removed though).
