I love the colors and the softness of this yarn. It is a bamboo merino blend that has a nice sheen and drape. This yarn ended up being something between a sport and worsted weight.
The bamboo made this a nice spin too. Everything was smooth and silky and a little bit slippery.
I'm thinking that I'll knit a nice spring scarf with this skein; probably something with a slightly open pattern. I think this yarn will be nice next to the skin and against the face.

Drool!!!
I gotta say, I really dig those FatCat rovings!
Lovely-lovely-lovely!! I do like the bamboo too. Even the roving looks great.
Oh so pretty and I bet so soft too!! Gorgeous colors!
Drool is right! It's totally lovely yarn! :o)
Pretty! I haven't tried bamboo yet!
I'm having real trouble with the bamboo that I have. Must just need more patience. Did you do anything different or special that you'd care to share?
Oooh that's so pretty! That will make a great spring scarf.
This is getting ridiculous. I didn't even think I liked orange!
