Customer Reviews
The colour is gorgeous and the wool knits really well. It is also machine washable. It will be my go-to wool for DK.
Not soft at all; feels very scratchy
I bought 20 balls of this in Irish Navy to make a jumper. The pattern that recommends it describes it as 'gorgeous'. Sadly, it's not soft at all and doesn't feel anything like merino wool should. It's possibly the scratchiest yarn I've ever felt! I'm not sure if washing would make much of a difference, but I'm not going to waste my time to find out. I'm going to have to return the balls that I haven't used. Very disappointed with this yarn.

Great color for kids' projects
I like the great colour. I am using it for a dress for a child.
Excellent service great selection of wools. Really enjoying knitting with king Cole Merino blend feels great to work with and looks good.
LoveCrafts - the clue is in the name!
I've used this yarn so many times in different projects! It knits or crochets well. It also wears and washes well. I love the denim colour in particular as it goes with so many other colours if you are knitting Fair Isle. One of my favourite yarns.
Great, quick, efficiently service with a wide variety of products.
I’ve used this yarn before. It’s very durable and knits easily. In fact I’ve unpicked one of the jumpers I made from it after a fair amount of use, washed the yarn and reused it to make another jumper and it worked beautifully. So, yes, I’d recommend it! It washes very well too although I always hand wash wool whether it says it’s machine washable or not!
Quality makes such a difference
Soft to touch and lovely to knit with. No splitting of wool as per other brands. Pliable, forgiving and soft to touch. Perfect for the baby cardigan I knitted. Will buy again in different colours. Makes such a difference to the knitting experience when you’re working with quality products
Great service excellent choice of wool. Really enjoying knitting with King Cole Merino blend feels good and looks great when knitted up.
Good wool! Pleasant shopping!
Knits up beautifully. Made warm socks 🧦 Doesn't seem to pil too much. Smooth to knit with and strands don't separate.
