Boodles Yarn

Has anyone used Boodles yarn?
I've just bought some from Hobbycraft, I'm thinking I want to make a bag with it.
It says to use a 10mm hook but I'm finding it easier to use 12mm as it's so thick.
Just playing around with it at the moment to figure out what I can do.

If you go to their website, there are lots of patterns you can download. However I made one bag, think it was the Fiona and it is seriously tiny. It made up very quickly but it is really too small to be used. I went and bought two more balls and some handles and am planing to make a shopping bag. I also saw a pattern in a magazine for a similar yarn type and that had been made into a basket. I used a 10 mm but I think I may get a 12 mm too.

I've used 10mm and 12 mm hooks and also knitted with it. Each spool is different and some is thicker than others so it depends how stiff or floppy I want it.
