New Yarn! Red Heart Artesano!

I'm always on the lookout for new yarns to try and this one really caught my eye. Although I don't use a lot of bulky weight yarns, the colour effects really drew me to Red Heart Artesano.



THe yarn swatched at 15sc x 13 rows on a J hook for me, while Lion Homespun swatches at 10 sc x 10 rows on a K hook.

I've put it on the hairpin loom and its really a nice yarn to work with! It hasn't caused me any splitting problems (as homespun has done occasionally), its a lighter weight, and overall looks good! I'm really impressed with this yarn. Would I purchase it again? Definately yes, if I was looking for a yarn with a good texture in this weight.
