Lotus Yarns Silky Cashmere Fingering Weight Knitting Yarn Skein Shiny Soft and Breathable Crochet Yarn, Great for Shawl, Scarves, Top and Craft Projects (21-Dark Gray)

Beautiful lace weight yarn, knits or crochets equally well with good stitch definition and a nice drape. Very soft and silky to the touch. I did not find any knots in either skein. The quality is great for the money and I would buy it again in a different color.

Beautiful yarn

I love this yarn! I love how soft and warm it is.

I didn't read carefully when I purchased. I was looking for 100% cashmere to repair a handknit cashmere lace scarf. Alas, this yarn is 55% silk. It is nice, nonetheless. 1. No, it isn't in a pull skein, but it is easy to wind a pull skein by hand, either using your thumb or a wood dowel or even an empty toilet paper cardboard roll. You can find instructions at Interweave Press or on Youtube. It takes a bit of time, but it isn't rocket science and will save your sanity if you are considering trying to knit it by just hanging the skein on the back of a chair. Knitting is supposed to be relaxing. 2. Yes, it is expensive. Always has been. Cashmere is very short fine fiber which make it difficult to spin, and cashmere goats only produce a few ounces a year, unlike sheep which produce fleeces that way by the pound. I cringe a bit when I read reviews from people who buy "pashmina" shawls for $16 and are outraged that they aren't cashmere. 3. As other have commented, this ISN'T FINGERING WEIGHT. It is LACE weight and needs 0 or 1 needles. If you are looking for something to knock out a project with in a weekend or 2, this isn't for you...unless you are knitting a hankie. Again, it is a nice lustrous yarn. It just isn't what I need right now.

Very nice yarn. I’m using size 0 needles and probably could go down to 00s. Amazingly there weren’t any knots in the two skeins I’ve wound so far! Not splitty at all and wonderfully soft.

I will not be reordering this and cannot recommend it. It was very soft and a nice color. I'm pretty good at detangling fine yarns, so I thought I could do it. Nope, tangles something awful.

I crochet a shawl using two stands. Great to work with.

The sheen on this yarn is quite lovely.
