It's perfect - fully washable, and a bright, non-gender specific colour sheme. 512 yards in one skein too! Yay Hello Yarn! I ordered the yarn last week, and it arrived safely yesterday, fully wound into a very big centre-pull ball. I opened it in the evening, and couldn't resist knitting it up right away - this is what I have so far (okay, so it was kind of a busy night!):
the yarn-over spaces have yet to appear fully (as in this photo), but I'm thinking (hoping!) that they will be more obvious once the fabric is blocked... the yarn is supposed to be knit on 3.5mm to 3.75mm needles, but since its really a sock yarn, I'm using 4mms in hopes that the resulting fabric will be just that little bit more drapey (and because i haven't any 4.5mm dpns!).Keep your fingers crossed! :)
