This yarn is beautiful and very easy to work with. I screwed the pattern up and had to tear it all out and start again and the yarn did just fine
I LOVE the color saturation and the colorways! I also absolutely LOVE the softness! The only bummer is that the dye rubs off a lot when knitting! At least the current skein of the Glacier Bay colorway!

This yarn is so soft, and the color is absolutely perfect! Great holiday gift to myself!
Karen, thank you so much for the 5★★★★★ review of McIntosh and you deserved it. Andrea
After seeing the sample Doux scarf on display I had to try knitting one. It is made by holding two uniquely hand dyed yarns together, a McIntosh (sock/fingering wt.) together with Delicious (lace weight) to give a nice halo. The color combinations are unbeatable and the yarns feel scrumptious in my hands. So I haven’t even finished this gift scarf yet. However I just picked up
two skeins in cool tones to make a second one. Why? I don’t want this fun project to end! Store employees are so helpful. Service is gracious, you won’t be disappointed at Apple Yarns!
Judy you have made our day with your 5★★★★★ review. Thank you! Andrea
