I love the fixation yarn. I want to make a tube top with it next. I think it retains its shape well when crocheted into a headband, even after several wearings before a wash. I work with sugar 'n creme, too. It splits pretty bad, too. I have not worked with the panda but have made headbands with the fixation. I love the fixation yarn.

I knit socks in (sorry for using the K word but as it's a yarn review, it's relavent) and the splitting was horrendous. It also doesn't wear well at all. I thow them in the washer and dryer to tighten up the stitches, but after a few minutes of wearing them around the stitches on the bottom of the foot and the toe stretch out. If I wear them with shoes they sometimes slip into the shoe, but that hasn't happened as much since I started machine drying them. The fabric does have a nice hand to it, but it's not the most practical for socks. It might be good for something like a headband.

The last photo is so great I have to leave a comment! I've used Cascade Fixation but have never seen the Panda yarn so I really appreciate the closeup. That's some serious unplying.
