Very thrilled you had the color way that was out of stock locally.

At first I really worried this yarn would be too scratchy, but after blocking it blooms and softens up considerably. It is dense and very, very warm, especially when knitted in colorwork.

The online store is well organized and customer service is helpful.
Regarding the yarn:
I purchased Lettlopi for the Anemone Sweater as recommended in the pattern. Working with Lettlopi has been a challenge. The yarn has a scratchy texture which makes my normal tensioning around the pinky finger impossible. While doing colorwork, the strands catch on everything and have to be wrangled in separate baskets. The texture actually scratched up the sides of my fingers while I knitted.
However! When I blocked the yarn, it became soft and pliable. It’s still a rustic yarn, but it is so much nicer after being blocked. It bloomed and all the stitches evened out. The yarn is very warm, probably the warmest yarn I’ve ever used! I would recommend it for projects that won’t bother you if they’re a little scratchy.

I cannot believe how fast my order arrived. I ordered from several companies on the same day/weekend and your shipment arrived almost immediately! Everything was in the order and I was knitting that same day. Thank you so much for making your order process easy as well as easy to track the order to the speedy delivery. When I get through all of the yarn I recently purchased I will be looking to see what other yarns you have.
