The price was excellent and I did not realize how much I got for one pound.  I am making an afghan now, and will enjoy making more things with what I have left over.  The yarn is durable - you cannot break it with your hands, as some yarns are. (I do that when my scissors are not handy).  I am impressed with that as well as with its feel - not dramatically soft and furry, but great for an everyday afghan. Will stand up to many washings.
