I don't know. I have been leary of buying any for that reason.

I've worked with both and they seem like they are the same yarn to me, if they aren't, they are pretty close. They feel the same, they work up the in same gauge and if I remember correctly, it's the same yardage per ounce.

I've heard that it's pretty scratchy so for that reason I've never tried it.

No, the DD Stallion Organic I'm almost positive is the same as Aria Organic (in the bulkier weight) and it's not scratchy, in the least.

Yeah I didn't like the feel of the Aria Organic when a friend of mine was knitting it up. Feels way scratchier to me than BFL or even peruvian.

That's so weird. I've never heard that before.
