First yarn I bought at my local in-person shop. I bought it there for the price (which, quite a bit cheaper from Walmart) but the color was lovely and the material was strong and well made, so far no knots or frays (I haven't gone through the whole skein yet) and this particular color is one of my favorites. I recently bought the same brand's 'coffee' color yarn, and it seems the same quality. great bang for your buck if you're looking to crochet or knit for a decent price
