Lotus Yarns Silky Cashmere Fingering Weight Knitting Yarn Skein Shiny Soft and Breathable Crochet Yarn, Great for Shawl, Scarves, Top and Craft Projects (21-Dark Gray)

Beautiful lace weight yarn, knits or crochets equally well with good stitch definition and a nice drape. Very soft and silky to the touch. I did not find any knots in either skein. The quality is great for the money and I would buy it again in a different color.

I thought I would like this yarn based on the picture. When I received it, it was a thinner yarn than I expected. It was more like slightly thicker thread. When I tried to work with it, it quickly became tangled in one big snarl and there were several knots in it as well because it comes in coil. The texture appears smooth and shiny in the picture but is actually rough and that's why it became tangled easily. I returned it and I would definitely say it's overpriced for what you get.

Beautiful yarn

The sheen on this yarn is quite lovely.

I didn't read carefully when I purchased. I was looking for 100% cashmere to repair a handknit cashmere lace scarf. Alas, this yarn is 55% silk. It is nice, nonetheless. 1. No, it isn't in a pull skein, but it is easy to wind a pull skein by hand, either using your thumb or a wood dowel or even an empty toilet paper cardboard roll. You can find instructions at Interweave Press or on Youtube. It takes a bit of time, but it isn't rocket science and will save your sanity if you are considering trying to knit it by just hanging the skein on the back of a chair. Knitting is supposed to be relaxing. 2. Yes, it is expensive. Always has been. Cashmere is very short fine fiber which make it difficult to spin, and cashmere goats only produce a few ounces a year, unlike sheep which produce fleeces that way by the pound. I cringe a bit when I read reviews from people who buy "pashmina" shawls for $16 and are outraged that they aren't cashmere. 3. As other have commented, this ISN'T FINGERING WEIGHT. It is LACE weight and needs 0 or 1 needles. If you are looking for something to knock out a project with in a weekend or 2, this isn't for you...unless you are knitting a hankie. Again, it is a nice lustrous yarn. It just isn't what I need right now.

I love this yarn! I love how soft and warm it is.

I crochet a shawl using two stands. Great to work with.

It’s a beautiful yarn, but tragically it got entangled whilst knitting because the yarn doesn’t come in a ball - it’s a hank so you have to unwind it and simultaneously wind it into a ball. Even using the back of a chair didn’t prevent the yarn from getting tangled because there were places where the yarn was already tangled. I ordered two so after the disaster with the first yarn, I tried to wind the second one round a yarn holder but even that one got tangled up. I was very careful. I don’t think the hank itself was wound carefully. What a waste of money and time.
