Beautiful colors

The heathered colors are very beautiful. I got Pine Heather and Taupe Heather for contrast. The yarn is great to work with. I love that it's machine washable and dryable.
I did notice some fuzz but very minimal and it brushed right off the project. The project turned out beautiful. I haven't washed it yet.
Like other knit objects it does snag easily and pull so be careful with snagging on things.

Love the wide range of color choices

I decided to crochet baby dolls for my cousin's baby shower. This yarn was the perfect choice for me when it came time to find a skin color yarn. It is not as easy as I thought it would be so to find this yarn was serendipitous. The project was a huge success. I intended the dolls to be gifted to the youngsters, but some adult party guests took them home as well. This is my go-to yarn when I have 'human' crochet projects.

Nice yarn to work with

I like working with this Basic Anti-Pilling yarn. It is a nice standard medium thickness. Does not tangle. Easily pulls out for re-doing if needed, with no damage to the yarn, which is important for me as I'm fairly new to crochet. Washes perfect with no shrinkage. I made a raglan-style shrug sweater and purse for my granddaughter. It turned out beautiful.

Beautiful drape

I love this yarn. It’s pretty affordable when you can find it on sale or with a promo code and I think the colors are so interesting. The skeins are a little bit small, but overall I’m really pleased and will use again. My favorite color was discontinued but this one is pretty neat too.

Soft and minimal splitting

Nicely soft yarn with a slight sheen to it. Reminds me of C So Soft, but without the horrendous splitting. I found the white color to be thicker and less soft than the colors, however. Also, out of eight skeins, three gave me terrible, time-consuming tangles in both a center pull and outer pull. Despite this, I will purchase again for future projects.
