I purchased 4 skeins of this yarn for my 4th grade students to use in making a Mother's Day gift.  (Crochet-covered Coat Hangers)  I selected this variegated yarn because  and I know my students will LOVE the beautiful colors.  Also, the yarn has a marvelous texture and doesn't fray or untwist readily, as some yarns do; it will be easy for small, inexperienced hands to use.  Finally, the price is right, and I had no problem spending my own money for this special school project.  My kids' moms deserve it!
