When test knitting the resulting fabric was very soft and thick as well. There is just a tiny touch of a halo. The yarn holds up well to textured stitches. Samples shown is our standard stockinet swatch with some ribbing and garter stitch. It was wonderful to work with, so an additional swatch was done in a heavy texture lace stitch. Again a great success. The yarn would make great comfy pullovers, and well as a nice cardigan for Mom, Grandma or even yourself. Needless to say, a great yarn for toddler blankets.
