This yarn splits a bit because of the 50 % cotton but with the 50% merino it is a wonderful yarn for sweaters. I'm using this to make a sweater for my son who lives in Louisiana. I feel this yarn is a light DK.

Used as substitute for Debbie Bliss Mia. Very happy with results. First time using cotton mix yarn, pleasure to work with.
This is more of a light worsted weight. Very soft and perfect for baby patterns.
It is very nice yarn - soft and drapes well. I used it for a baby blanket.
Have not knitted with this yarn yet ,but found it very pleasant on the touch( smooth), will use n 4-5 US needles( I'm a loose knitter). Ordered color white o3, very nice elegant white, would call it more milk or soft white, not a cream.
Very soft and nice to knit with - yarn can split a bit but not a problem
Beautiful yarn - haven’t used it yet as it’s for my stash to knit toys for Christmas
Nice colour, crochet well very soft however it dos split and not enough on one roll.
I had no prior experience with the yarn, but I'm pleased with the way it works up. I chose it for the blend of cotton and wool. It's not too stuff like all cotton, and not too springy like a lot of wools and wool blends, just right for my project.
I loved the way this yarn gave my stitches definition. My only issue with it was it was a bit splitty. However, my baby blanket turned out beautifully and the yarn blocked out very well.
