Hi, I recently got a hold of quite a bit of this yarn, and was wondering if any of you have experience with it? I think it will make some really interesting knitting/crochet items with a bit of patience, and would love to see some pictures of things any of you ladies have made with this product ~ time to show off a little!
thanks!

Yes, it seems that since I first discovered this yarn about two weeks ago, I have since seen some other colorway combos. I put a picture of mine up on my blog

yeah, i bet the sari silk yarn would look really cool for that mangomoon poncho!

How difficult of a project is that? i think it looks relatively doable, but I JUST taught myself to crochet within the last two-three weeks and am looking for a good first project - just been practicing different stitches so far...
