How does this yarn behave when knit or crocheted?

Simply Soft Heather has a soft, lustrous surface and a balanced weight that creates even stitches and a graceful drape. It’s versatile across textures — cables, lace, and stockinette all display clearly thanks to the yarn’s consistent twist and sheen.
