I chose this yarn in Linen White but what received is much more like the Frosted Lemon option. The lemony cream color has flecks of blue, pink, and orange and a generally light-yellow feel to it instead of the grayish cream with umber and brown flecks that I had hoped for to use for an accessory for a burnt orange dress. I strongly suspect that the yarn was mislabeled, but I liked the look of enough to use it with my intended project.
This yarn is very soft on the hands and feels quite nice to work with. I'm not used to cotton blends feeling this soft, and it is a nice change. The yarn also has very clear stitch definition and helps details pop. However this yarn tends to catch on itself often when frogging, and this makes for some gnarly and difficult snags to undo. This yarn is also quite prone to splitting, and I had to be very aware of where and how I placed my needles when working with it.
I used this yarn for a shawl and the finished work is absolutely gorgeous! The fabric has wonderful drape and is quite flowy, which well suits the pattern that I chose. The knitted fabric has nice stretch, and grew by almost half after wet blocking. This shawl is 62" wide, 30" long after blocking and I still have yarn left over. My phone's camera didn't pick up the overall color and speckles as well as I had hoped, but it's close enough to get an idea of what it's like in person.
Only one skein of this yarn had a break in the strand, and I used four and a half skeins on the shawl. I'm quite happy with the finished results of this yarn, but it was certainly not the easiest yarn to work with.
