Filatura Di Crosa - Centolavaggi
I thought I'll ask here... does anyone have any experience with Filatura Di Crosa's Centolavaggi?
According to my trusted LYS owner, it'd be perfect for the lace project I'm planning. But I don't know, something makes me think that this wool sounds very scary. Probably the 1400m / 100g thing more than anything else.
So, any experience? Any tips, do's and don'ts? Or does it just behave like "normal" 8-ply yarn? I never worked with any lace weight yarn.

no subject
(I also had to do the winding by hand. Be sure you have either a lot of time (a whole evening maybe) or you can leave it undisturbed. this advice comes from rl trauma, lol.)
