Lovely colorway I use a lot of worsted weight kitchen type cottons in my crocheting and used to dislike ombres. I'm starting to like them a lot more. The Desert Rising is a current favorite for it's soft muted colors and how nicely it stitches up. I posted a picture of some apple cozies I crocheted using it and cream as the accent color.The yarn is nice heavier weight worsted and works up wonderfully with a size H hook or size 8 needles for dishclothes. When you use a size F hook you get a very dense fabric that works well for stuffed animals cozies and double layered for functional potholders. It's reasonably priced as well. The cotton is very soft. Because it is cotton and not wool it doesn't have any bounce back for the fibers so it doesn't work well for fitted accessories or clothing. It washes very well but might shrink some in hot water. It won't felt and shows stitch definition well. Great for kitchen gift items like potholders dishcloths and cozies.
