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've got a sweater UFO in 1824 Cotton. I like it well enough; the texture took some getting used to, but it has a nice feel to it and knits up well.

How's the k2t and pick up and knit? (I'm assuming center double decrease is too much to ask for out of anything that isn't mercerized.)

I honestly don't remember--it's been that long. I'll see if I can pull the project out tomorrow and test drive those decreases--I'm making a top down raglan, and the decreases were done ages (like years) ago.
