Works great for lacy items
I haven't purchased this particular yarn, but have used a similar yarn where the fiber goes from thin to thick.
This type of yarn works up beautifully in a loose stitch using a large hook. With the yarn I had, a beautiful variegated in soft shades, I settled on the simple v-stitch using a 6mm hook for a wrap. The thicker parts of the yarn didn't jam me up because the larger hook kept my stitches on the loose side and because I was stitching into spaces rather than stitches, the project went lickety-split and the random spots of heavier yarn added an interesting element to the finished project. I used the same yarn for a 6" fringe along the short ends, and the composition of thick/thin yarn looked fabulous. It's one of my favorite pieces.
