Designs by Phanessa: "This yarn is so amazing to work with. I can definitely see myself knitting with it. I think it will knit up a beautiful shawl!" Read more here.

VIVID YARN SET
Honeybee Knit Podcast: "The cashmere in this yarn is so incredibly soft....once I blocked it, the yarn just bloomed and I literally want a sweater or a blanket out of this yarn, it is so soft!" Watch the video below or click here to view on YouTube!
Bonny Knits Blog:"Serenity 20 is a fingering weight that’s 70% superwash superfine merino, 20% cashmere and 10% nylon. I don’t think I’ve ever knit with a cashmere blend before, so I had no idea what a decadent experience it is. Soft? Oh my yes! The yarn was lush and full and squishy, and every time I picked it up, my hands were so happy. This was what I picked up at night as my treat knitting, because the combination of relaxing garter stitch in such a yummy yarn pleased me so much. It wasn’t splitty at all and behaved nicely when I had to frog a bit. It might be handwash only but it’s worth it!" Read more here!
5 Little Monsters Blog: "The colors in the bundle I received were so bright and fun...I loved they way they worked up and was very happy with the colors. It is also very soft to the touch and has a great drape." Click here for a free crochet pattern on the 5 Little Monsters Blog!

The Corner of Knit & Tea: "It is delightful and bouncy!" Watch the video below or click here for show notes!
SUPERFINE FINGERING YARN
Hands Occupied Blog:"This yarn is a lot of fun, and opens up a lot of opportunities to play with stripe, gradient and color in your knitting." Click here to read more on the Hands Occupied Blog!
Handmade by Stefanie Blog:"This is a super-squishy yarn that feels soft to the touch, but has enough twist to it that it's not splitty, and I doubt it will pill much with time. It withstood ripping back to fix mistakes and dropped stitches, as well as plenty of abuse from being stuffed in my bag for knitting at the tap room."

The Corner of Knit & Tea: "I have worked with Zen Yarn Garden’s Superfine Merino Fingering base before and I love it. It’s super soft and bouncy and stands up well to being knit and ripped (oops!). This time I was struck by the amazing colors...I had this amazing orange tonal to knit with. I couldn’t even count the shades of orange, red, pink and coral I could see in the yarn."

Knitting in Stitches Podcast: "This is my second review for Zen Yarn Garden and I really adore their yarns, it's got a wonderful twist, it's nice and soft but it feels like it's got some good structure to it, it's perfect for a project like this (it's a shawl), but of course with your nylon in there you could use it for socks or garments or anything!"

Little Things Blogged: "This shawl is very special to me and literally when I received the lovely Magic Dye Pot series yarn from Zen Garden Yarn I knew it had to be turned it a lovely shawl! The idea was to add everything to a shawl a crocheter would want; so it includes some easy single crochet, some double crochet stitches, some cluster stitches, a tad of v-stitches and even some post stitches.

GRADIENT YARN SETS
Angela Tong Designs Blog: "I was pleased with how the lace looked [in this yarn]. The knitted swatches had an almost silky feel to it. It's hard to believe that it is just 100% wool. The yarn also stood up to me frogging and washing it a few times. It's a very high quality merino wool." Click here to read more on the Angela Tong Designs Blog!
Benjamin Krudwig Designs: "The [woven] fabric really came to life once it was off the loom and fulled slightly... The amount of squoosh the finished fabric has is crazy! This is heightened of course by the fact that the yarn is a superwash merino sock yarn that has a ton of spring to it."Read more and get the free weaving pattern here on the Benjamin Krudwig Designs blog.
The Corner of Knit & Tea: "Even from the start, I was really pleased with this yarn [shown below]. It is super soft and bouncy and draped beautifully for the shawl. I loved the way the set included a speckled yarn, a more variegated yarn and two solids."

Cosmos & Cashmere Blog: "For babies it's so important that yarn for next-to-skin projects is really soft, and this definitely is.
