I picked up a skein of Red Heart Symphony yarn the other day, since it was there and I needed something new in my yarn stash. :)

WHAT A FIND!!!!

If you haven't used this yarn for anything, go get a ball of it and experiment! It's so light, fluffy, and rich!

I'm making a poncho in the gray Symphony, and it's coming out beautifully. I use a size P hook for this, and managed to get a panel and about a quarter for the poncho. (I'm doing a two rectangle poncho, which seems to be the rage right now... good thing... it's so easy and quick!)

Anyhow, you NEED to try this yarn. But be warned... if you need to tear someone out, be patient and take it slow, as the long 'mohair' like fibers tend to grab each other a lot.

I don't know yet how this will wash up, but I'm guessing that it should be done very carefully, with mild soap and very little agitation, to avoid matting or felting. I'll have to see if there's enough left over to do a washing test.

Just wanted to share that! If you haven't been to the yarn section of Walmart lately, go visit. They've got a lot more specialty yarns than I recall them ever having. I love seeing that, as the nearest yarn store or larger craft store is half an hour away, and Wally World is just 5 minutes away. 'Bout time they started getting in the good stuff! :)

have fun!
