Question for Knitters

[neadods]

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.)

If it's easyer on the hands than most cotton, it's way ahead of summer tweed because that stuff was so stiff it *squeaked* when I tried to knit it on wood. The colors are stunning, but wow! Like trying to knit with twine.

I've got a skein of Knitpicks Crayon running around somewhere; I wonder if that would have a similar hand to it.
