Single ply, z twist at first was annoying in theory. In practice, I found I soon liked it --no splitting and great stitch definition. No problems with tangling for me. What I love is the thickness, probably about 18 wpi. I used a size 6 circ needle for the shawl -- lilac leaf shawl from Barbara Bush's Knitted Lace of Estonia. Only thing is the sl2, k1, psso's don't look as pronounced as with an S twist yarn in the lace edge but still happy with it. If you find working with finer lace yarns difficult, this is a good choice. Easier to work with and the resulting lace is still much more delicate and airy than a fingering weight lace. After searching with size 4, 6. And 8 needles, I liked the 6 best.
