I took the risk on this, and the stuff I got is pretty soft -- but not "buttery soft". So, it's pretty good for the price. I'll be reporting more on this! Thanks Kristin.

I've found yarn made by the Troitsk factory to be pretty good quality in general. You should be aware, however, that "pure wool" here often actually means 95% wool, 5% acrylic. Some wool yarn here is scratchy as a Brillo pad, so I'd caution against buying over the internet unless you've got a good return policy.
