I CANNOT say enough good things about this yarn. It is simply the MOST wonderful yarn I have EVER used. I frogged the hell out of it in the beginning when not paying attention to the repeats; I flung it around in various holding stages on the floor, in bookbags, in the backseat of the car; I stretched it almost mercilessly during blocking (didn't have quite enough pins to be truly merciless), and soaked it for almost 20 minutes in Eucalan without shedding a single bead of color, and this baby holds up!!!!!
