Good to know! ?I¡¯ve never tried it before. ?Martha Stewart carries it in her online store so it can¡¯t be too bad. Lol
And as you say, bargain retail therapy is oh so good. ?$6 bucks for all that yarn and in a pretty colorway, too. ?
I might even do something with little crochet granny squares..... ?but crochet takes a LOT of yarn. ? ?

Yarn Bee is typically really nice stuff, wvwn leaving aside the price point.
Retail therapy at that price, who could criticize?

Something to divert the mind....
I haven¡¯t knit anything in forever.
I haven¡¯t bought yarn in forever!
But!? I was at Hobby Lobby the other day with Katie.? She was looking at wedding flowers/decorations and I have NO talent with that. So,? I meandered back to the fabric section and bumbled around.? Saw a little clearance shelf tucked away in a corner with all sorts of stuff.
There were 3 packages of Yarn Bee Pigment + Fiber in the Quarry Rock colorway.?? Each package includes 6 balls of yarn in shades from black to grey to winter white.? 1.99 each package.? .33?/ball of yarn.? (Katie didn't even scold me for buying more yarn at that price. ?)
It¡¯s a wool/nylon/acrylic blend.? Very soft.? Should be sturdy.
Each set of 6 has a total of 630 yds.
Gauge is 32 spi on a size 2 needle.
I have all this high-end, expensive yarn tucked away and this makes me ridiculously happy. ?
No clue what to make with it!
Definitely thin enough for Fair Isle or lace.? Some fade pattern?
Ideas?? Here¡¯s a pic.
