Filatura Di Crosa - Centolavaggi

[franzi1981]

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.

Oh, and you'll probably want extra-pointy needles. They can make the maneuvers used for lace a lot easier.

Yep! I'm going to use my knitpicks for that :)

Was reading through these comments because I too am looking to start a lace project, I just need to pick the yarn (this stuff looks gorgeous!). Really, though, I'm only commenting to love on your Xanatos icon :3
