On a trip to Adelaide in 2008 I went to the YarnBarn and while there I purchased 8 skeins of Burgundy coloured Harmony merino and possum 10ply. I have knitted Topaz for Oliwka, I hope it fits her! It is so soft and beautiful to knit with BUT at times is not plyed very well, is very thin in parts with a tendency to break. I have washed and blocked it carefully and thankfully there wasn't too much stretch but I think each wash will be a very delicate process, so maybe this isn't the best and most practical yarn for an 18month old!
