Here is what some top lace knitting designers have to say about it:

It is an excellent yarn, strong and soft, and it blocks very well for lace knitting work. I love the range of colours you use, they are truly beautiful, soft elegant colours, the mixes too give a pretty effect.
Sharon Miller of Heirloom Knitting

I cannot say enough good things about this lace knitting yarn! It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL to work with, and it was MUCH stronger than I would have expected from such a fine wool.
Miriam Felton of Mimknits.
