I have wanted to try this yarn for a while now... and I finally gave in! Here it is in all it's glory... and this stuff is definitely as "Smooshy" as the title says :) I can see why everyone makes such a fuss over this yarn, the colors are so vivid they just seem to jump off of the skein. Although with the shipping this is a little pricey, I can see why people choose to use it for projects like sweaters and shawls... I can't imagine making something from this and then covering it up completely. I'm sure it will make great socks, but that mossy green is so rich and true that I think it will need to be the centerpiece of an outfit all on it's own. Top: Shiny Moss. Bottom: Ruby River
