Fleece yarn

Hello fellow yarn lovers! I have a new discovery!
I found this interesting yarn a while ago, but have yet to buy any. It's actually made of printed polyester fleece. Has anyone tried it? It's called Deborah Norville Cuddle Fleece and it comes in either dots or mosaics. Premier is selling it for $6.99 on their site. I don't know if it's available at craft stores yet.
Here's a link from the Premier Yarns Web site:

And here's a pic from their site of the mosaics version in the color called Building Blocks:

I think it might be nice for a kids scarf. You need an S hook or size 15 needles to knit. An S hook is huge! 15s are big, but not THAT big. Not sure why the discrepancy.
Premier also has 12 free patterns for this yarn, including a hat, scarf, baby blanket, pillow and bag.
I would love to hear from anyone who has used this yarn. How did your project turn out? Would you recommend this yarn to a friend?
By the way, I am not linked to this yarn company in any way. I'm just a yarn enthusiast looking for some advice before I buy even more yarn for my stash. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
