This is going to be missed when it is all gone. It's such a shame it has been discontinued. I made a winter set of a hat, cowl, and mittens in Blue Jay and it is SO Fun! If you need bright colors to cheer up a drab winter, this yarn is just the ticket. So I purchased some here with a recent sale because I was so happy to find ALL the colorways available. The black thread that wraps the yarn isn't any trouble and only occasionally catches on a hook. I would recommend this yarn, even with the wool content. It isn't itchy at all and can be washed and dried like an acrylic. Keep the temperatures low for the water and drying.
