This week I have the fortunate opportunity of reviewing Becoming Art's Cielo Sport yarn. Becoming Art hand dyes their yarn, aiming for a complete saturation of color, and an uniqueness all their own each time. I ordered clove, which I enjoyed immensely. I would say that clove was an accurate description, since it came in shades of woodsy browns. Dried cloves in fact. It was just what I was looking for. The twist is great. The stitch definition is fantastic. I would love the chance to work with it more and review the other products that the owner, Lisa Sanchez, has to offer. I would definitely reccomend it. The only drawback is the price. At over $20 a skein, it is not out of range with other hand dyed yarns, but may be out of range for the average knitter. I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.
