I used this yarn in three different colors for three different sweater patterns.
Each sweater came out beautifully, the surface soft and the drape of the finished sweater wonderful. The Black yarn was nice and dark, but created nice shadows with the textured stitches. The Cranberry red is a nice happy red, working well for an Aran sweater. Rose heather is the last color I've tried with this brand, and although the garment is lovely in all ways, there were quite a few slubs that I needed to cut out.
Over all, I highly recommend this yarn for swetaers and blankets.
