Question for Knitters

Has anyone worked with Mission Falls cotton? It's on sale at yarn.com at the moment for a price that makes an afghan a possibility, but I don't want to buy tons and find out that it's a pup to work with, a la the Rowan Tweed. (By the way, I haven't forgotten that some of y'all have expressed an interest. I'm going to be up at the Book Thing next weekend and then seeing what's left and who wants it.)

I fail at communicating on Ravelry, usually. Mostly just lurk.

Find the page for the yarn in question, check out projects people have made with it, and keep an eye out for comments in the project blurbs about loving or hating the yarn. (Here are all the types of yarn Mission Falls offers - I note they're all marked as discontinued, but you can still go to the appropriate yarn and see the projects.)

ETA: Whoops, disregard -- I hadn't read down the page to see you've already been given this suggestion and a relevant link.
