It looks great. I felt some Noro the first time ever this week. I was not impressed. So scratchy. Same for Kauni. Pretty, it's not soft either. Crystal Palace is doing it right.

I have only used Noro silk garden for the rooster scarf, and once it was washed it was very soft. Chris wears it around his neck and said it isn't scratchy at all. Be sure you wash it before blocking and then use a bit of softener or hair conditioner in the rinse.

I have never used the sock garden and probably won't. I do love the MM in all forms. I didn't have any when I needed to make the rooster and did have some Noro I had bought before I joined this group from an Aussie Rav knitter. Then I had to find more from another Aussie knitter since we can't buy it here. Glad I did since I found it is a nice yarn (so far). But of course, so is MM!!!
