What do you think of it? Is it like RHSS?

Saw it the other day and it feels like rough RHSS.

Haven't seen it here, but haven't been there in awhile either

I saw some yesterday when I was looking for a particular color of rhss. I forgot to feel of it though. It was new to me.

I thought it felt too rough, but had pretty colors!

Thanks for your input everyone!

 

I went to Micheals today and felt of it. It was pretty rough, but they had a sample project there (an owl pillow) and it wasn't to bad of a feel in the completed project. Kind of scratchy like RHSS but not any rougher. It is inexpensive though, at just $2.49 per skein.

I saw this today while I was in Michaels. Colors are okay but there is no way I would ever use it. It's rough, I could clearly see where the yarn isn't even (there were areas where the yarn was frayed, hard to explain) and it was like that in about 3 or 4 different skeins. I don't think it was supposed to be that way as most of the others weren't like that. Just not very good quality to me. Just my $.2.

I bought a few skeins the other day as it was on sale for $1.99. So far so good, easy to work with and a better texture than RHSS. Somewhere between RHSS and I Love This Yarn. No problems with unevenness or splitting and I would probably buy it again.

 

On the other hand, I ordered two skiens of RHSS Team Spirit in Green/Gold thinking I'd make a hat and scarf for my nephew. It was like working with twine. The worst RHSS i've seen yet. I tried several patterns but finally gave up as I couldn't work with it at all. It was so rough and scratchy.

Have used and like - no rougher than RH which is my usual go to yarn.  Good variety of varigated colors but smaller stores don't carry all the colors and Michael's online requires you to buy a minimum of 3 skeins per color - wouldn't mind that 3 skein minimum - if I could mix and match
