There were 2 joints (knots) in one ball of yarn. Also, I measured it 3 times, and each time came up with 40 yds instead of the claimed 44. Very disappointed, because the yarn itself is soft and beautiful. It was just simply not usable.

Yarn is really soft and heavy. The weight of the throw I've made is so comforting. Yarn knits nicely and evenly. All five colors I used were vibrant. Big negative is how many joints there are in balls - at least 1 joint per 44 yard ball.

This yarn is super soft and comes in some gorgeous colors. I was super excited to work with it, but DEAR LORT does it shed like crazy! I made a lapghan for myself and I'm so disappointed. The halos are nuts. Every time I wash it, I'm afraid it's going to clog my washer or dryer. I don't think I'll use it again.

I ordered this in navy and pomegranate to make a hat and was impressed with how soft it is. 44 yards gets used up pretty fast, but for fast gift knitting this is perfect, a couple balls will get you a hat or other small accessory. I loved the colors, they work really well together.

Re: shedding - I wonder if fabric conditioner or similar product would help reduce shedding.
