Very easy to knit with .. to get the best results use two balls of yarn. Just knit two rows with the first ball then two rows with the second. This gives continuation of the pattern colour .I have knitted a couple of scarves in it for my niece .The cheapest around is here at

Oh dear!! I found knitting with Fiefly really difficult! Gave up in the end and passed it on to my mum to finish. The end result is fab but very hard!!

Thing is with these fashion yarns is that they really are meant to be knitted up on large needles and I think they are only suitable for scarves or simple items. I am a life long quite experienced knitter and made my niece a bolero with that Eskimo wool .I nearly ended up chucking it across the room !I Increasing and decreasing and picking up stitches with it is a nightmare and if you drop a stitch you've had it ! But I find them easy in just back and forth for a scarf.
