Stylecraft Sirocco?Has anybody used this? I've seen a nice pattern knitted up on Rav in it and wondered what it's like - it looks like a boucle cotton/linen mix and I wondered if it was quite soft and whether it was a total pain to knit with

It's not that soft but does soften a little when washed. I've found it ok to knit with and funnily enough on my blunter needles rather than pointy. It is a boucle type yarn although i'd describe it as knobbly rather than loopy....hth
