While this isn't my favorite yarn, it's a very good one. Inexpensive(although I have seen some sellers on here trying to get $9 for one skein- it's around $3-$4 at local stores) yarn that's good for a variety of projects. It does fray easier than some, but not too bad. Personally, the feel of it is a bit itchy. It doesn't bother others, just a personal thing. I do use it for small lapghan type blankets but not for the larger ones that'll be touching my skin.
