Comments about Plymouth Yarn Plymouth Suri Merino - Ireland #687:
I saw a particularly good price on this yarn so I ordered some to donate to the prayer shawl ministry in my parish church. It looks nicer in reality than the website pictures - a lovely green with slight gold flecks. I don't knit, so I don't know much about it, but one of the knitters in the ministry who does says it will work very well. It's nice and soft - if I did knit, I'd love to have a cardigan or sweater vest made from this yarn.

The color is not as pictured, but that seems to be the only negative.

Comments about Plymouth Yarn Plymouth Suri Merino - Ireland #687:
I have never had as much fun knitting with a yarn as I do with this one.
It is extremely soft and knits up very quickly. Surprisingly, other knitters
have found it hard to find the end or to knit with the yarn as packaged
yet I found the opposite to be true. It has been extremely easy to find the
ends and to knit straight from the skein. I have never had a problem with
it knotting up, and as a low-intermediate knitter, I always have stitches
to rip out. The color I am using (Ireland), is absolutely gorgeous. Just
can't wait to finish and wear my vest.

I ordered this as part of a prayer shawl I was making. The colorway is a deep emerald green with hints of a deep blue.
The yarn knits up well and takes frogging/knitting backwards with ease.
My two main complaints are that it can be very difficult to find the ends of the yarn so you can start a project/roll it into a ball, and that it can be difficult to work from the skein as packaged. For ease of knitting and to avoid knots, I would *highly* suggest taking the time to roll each skein into a ball before starting your project.
