Original price was $4.99 per skein. Gotta love those 40% and 50% off coupons at JoAnn’s! :)

I find the larger needle sizes easier to work with when knitting this yarn. Shorter needles are also less apt to get snagged in the yarn than longer needles, but a short (16”) bamboo circular is my preferred option. (No slipping, no snagging.)

All of the scarves pictured are the 6 stitch wide version. There is a tendency for the cast-on edge to flair out significantly more than the cast-off edge, so I compensate for that by casting on only 3 stitches to start, working those 3 stitches for 2 or 3 rows, and then increasing to 6 stitches for the remainder of the scarf.

The first picture shows a rig I threw together to make the process of knitting this yarn easier. I use an empty drink mix container (think “Crystal Light” when the plastic containers were round) paired with a countertop paper towel holder. (Other bases I’ve also used are a bud vase and a ketchup bottle. The paper towel holder is more stable, especially when it’s sitting next to me on the couch.) It takes about 20 minutes to spread and wrap the yarn around the plastic canister. After that you can knit start to finish without stopping to spread the yarn apart, and I find the whole knitting process to be much easier.
