I’m using this yarn as a substitute for the peer gynt in a single strand sweater. I am enjoying the feel of the yarn as I knit. I chose it because the recipient of the sweater is sensitive to wool. The addition of the cotton softens the wool significantly. This yarn is soft and has nice stitch definition. It is a little splitty, but not bad.

Nice yarn for summer tops, not my favorite for sweaters as it feels quite “cottony” despite being more than half wool.
