"feels very soft and bendy, like it should be nice to work with, but somehow always slips out of hands. Also the scratches, what's up with that ?"

Must be your needles. You obviously need more needle minders!

most likely yes !

Soft and bendy? In my experience, consistency varies randomly from "near-liquid" through "soft and bendy" to "will stand up on its own". Also, it cannot be stored with other yarn, as it may unravel, tangle, or try to eat it.

I also have noticed about the storage thing, it's not very cooperative. I assume it must stick somehow to things like blankets and cushions, it seems to stay on that kind of surfaces a bit longer than others.
