Purchased directly because this yarn is not available in Canadian stores. Can only purchase through Amazon. Due to the situation between Canada and the US I would prefer to buy as little as possible through Amazon. The price was comparable and I actually received in faster than the only YarnArt order from Amazon.
Haven't used this one yet but I love the colours. Have used the same yarn in a different colour and it works wonderfully. Doesn't split when using and works up really nice.
