A New Concept in Yarn

On the Freeform Guild Discussion Group there has been much discussion about a new product by Conjoined Creations called Flat Feet Yarn. It is a flat piece of fabric that appears to be machine-knitted and then hand painted.

On one hand, each piece of fabric is completely unique. On the other hand, I don't know how I feel about having to pull apart a pre-assembled piece of fabric to re-crochet into a new project.

It is also a bit pricey at $25 per "flat," which will make one pair of socks. The content breakdown is 80% Superwash Merino/20% Nylon. I have been unable to locate a total yardage or weight.

I am hoping to find a LYS that carries Flat Feet so I can see it in person before making a purchase. According to what I have read online, it is flying off the shelves. Not sure if it is because its the "newest thing," that the colors are dyed by hand which makes it unique, or something else.

I would love to have comments from knitters or crocheters have tried it. Share your experiences!
