My yarn came and it's really nice. It's thinner than I expected though. The label gives a gauge of 2-3 stitches per inch with #10 needles, but when I knit with that size I got 4 stitches/inch! (That would be 16 sts/4 in, way too many for our pattern).
The best I could do was 14 sts/4 in with 10 1/2 needles. I will have to go with that and adjust it if necessary.
I used the "long strand across the back" method. I'm not sure I would recommend this for beginners because it's actually not so easy to keep the strand from pu
lling too tight.
