golo Wool Yarn for Hand Weaving 3.5oz Cashmere Multicolor Rainbow Yarn Fancy MQ5-012

I had to go down to size 1 needles (from 2.5 for sock yarn) and it's a bit of a finicky yarn getting a Turkish cast-on going, but I just finished the toe and the transitions between colors are gorgeous. It is merino + nylon and not cashmere as described but "lost in translation" may apply. It is from China. I would say they make excellent sock liners based on how thin the toe is. The docked star is for not advertising it as laceweight yarn. The advertising had me thinking sock yarn. I'll update after I finish the socks and wash them once and let you know.Those who never wash handknit items don't knit as much as I do. All my socks are hand knit. All of them go through the wash. If they dont' survive, there are children who need socks and they go to the rescue mission. I'll update whether these survive the first washing.But the joy of knitting with this yarn is defnitely a plus. The transitions for the dyes is enough to keep me happy through the first colorway at least.

You are able to make a full size scarf or a moderate shawl with but one skein. If you make a hat, you will have leftovers towards another project.It is very enjoyable watching how the colour unfolds as you go along.Mind you,be aware, this fine yarn calls for correspondingly tiny size crochet hook or knitting needles.

Dislike dull colors

First time trying this yarn. There was enough to make a nice pair of socks from one skein, and the thickness and feel reminds me of Paton's Kroy line. Really enjoyed knitting with it.

This was a roll that was mostly brown yarn. The purples were gorgeous, but it wasn't the grey colors as advertised in the photo.

Knit socks, they are not evenly knit. Hate this yarn. Stuck with 2 pair of socks that look awful.

First of all, there was a balled up, tangled, 5 grams of yarn shoved into the middle. It was so difficult to untangle the first few feet of the yarn. The width is inconsistent and I’m concerned it might break. It’s fuzzy and difficult to see strands when necessary.

This yarn has very little natural wool fiber in it. I performed the fire test on it and it balled up like plastic. If it had 75% wool it would not have been so drastic. I'll fi s a use for it, but would not recommend it to anyone nor will I buy it again

La couleur est superbe et j'ai assez de laine pour mon projet. Par contre le fil est très fin, il casse facilement et la pelotte était pleine de noeuds.

Yarn is thinner than I thought it would be…Fingering/sock weight
