Holding double to form DK

I'm using Veridian, the color is simply gorgeous. Holding it double to form DK. A touch stiff, but after blocking softens up - at least my swatch did. At first I found it a little scratchy to knit with but now I don't think so, must have been a result of the lusciously soft yarn I was knitting with on my last project. Kelbourne makes great yarns that don't break the bank. I am enjoying knitting with this and absolutely love Scout.
