I received this yarn in exchange for my review. As always, all opinions are entirely my own.
The base for this beautiful yarn is Expressions Fiber Art's signature, custom made, sock yarn. The colorway is Celestial, which has silvery gray mingling with soft black, cool pink, and purple. It's an all around beautiful yarn.

After much deliberation I settled on knitting the Mont Royal Hat. I thought that this pattern would be a fun knit and would look nice with the colors of the yarn. So far this yarn is a dream to knit. It doesn't fray, split, or fuzz -- even with multiple froggings. (I might have had a difficult time joining without twisting . . . Sigh. Totally not the yarn's fault.) The dye is great, none of it has come off on my hands. (Which I have had happen with other hand-dyed yarns. Not fun.)

ReplyDeleteI love it! What a beautiful color combination! Thanks for the giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really pretty. Nice colorway.
ReplyDeleteI have never had the opportunity to work with a special yarn like this. I have only used Red Heart as thats what is available and what I can afford. Its my dream to have a special yarn to make something for myself, as all my projects are usually made for me but I give them away. Why crochet beautiful things and keep them? I cant. I would with a gorgeous yarn like this. Loved the review. It always helps to learn. Thanks so much. I follow and share!

Like your review, I will have to give this yarn a try. I love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteThat will look great as a hat! I would try that yarn in a Tunisian crochet stitch, I think. The color changes are great.

Very nice colors. My knitting skills are rudimentary as I am very distractible - making following a pattern a horror. But I make plain, randomly sized scarves like nobody's business. HA! Also, I too am a Philosopher's wife. : ) Thanks! notwendy gmail
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is beautiful. I love the colors. I could use some of this yarn in my stash.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely yarn. :) And I like the idea of a hat - they're quicker (for me at any rate!) than socks. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to feel this yarn because I know the colors are outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThis yarn is Beautiful...would like to feel it too...looks soft tho. Thanks for sharing this info with us all! :)
