I use this for making wigs for children who have lost hair from cancer and other conditions. It unravels terribly, so I have to knot every strand of hair at both ends. For regular knitting, it is fine. I have a friend who uses it all the time. It just is annoying for my purposes, but required by the group I do this work for.

Love this yarn
I do love this yarn and the way it works up, this particular purchase was not to my liking as it was to add on to a pattern kit that I purchased from Herrschners and the die lot (the original yarn stated "no die lot") was so different that I am unsure...
