knittingI 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.

I imagine there'll also be lots of cursing, but what's knitting without cursing? *G*
