These colors are amazing, the wool is nice. I can't wait to see how it knits. I am having a bit of a time getting it caked. Two of the eight hanks are caked and both were tangled and uncooperative to wind. The third was so much trouble that I found the other end and hand wound it. Still have five to go. It is probably not helping that it is mid 90s, no A/C. If I purchase this again I would be willing to pay someone else to wind it into cakes.
