For the most part, I like this tank. I love the yarn, first of all. It was a joy to work with and even better to wear. It’s very soft and comfortable. The color is also very pretty. I would like to use this yarn again in another summer project, possibly A Good Bias from IK spring 2005. On the other hand, it turned out a little bit too big. I would like it to be a bit more fitted. Also, the front point is too long. I would like it better if it didn’t hang down so much in the front. The yarn’s labels says that this yarn can be washed on gentle and dried for a short time on low, then blocked to dry. I tried washing it on delicate, but the tank got fuzzed and frayed. When I pulled it out of the washer I was worried that I had ruined it. But after blocking it looks much better. However, I won’t be washing it again in my washing machine.
