The weight of the yarn was very even. I do not like knobby or bumpy yarns and Essential was consistent through the entire skein. The yarn was fairly soft while knitting, maybe just a teeny bit scratchy, but super-soft after washing. There was slight fuzzing after the first wash, but no significant pilling.
This yarn is incredibly durable. Look at the tail below. It was used to cast off the second sock. It went through each stitch twice on a tapestry needle and looks completely unscathed. Not to mention that it was liberally mouthed by Cat No. 2. By the way, that's all that was left of the skein after I made IGS2. Twelve and three-quarters inches, how cool is that?
I’ll have to come back and update this after the socks have been washed and worn a few times, but at this point I’m satisfied overall. I’d have to say a very good value for the money.
