Lovely wool, knits up very well, nice and even and snug.
Knits up quick and evenly,
4 balls does a think scarf, I did 21 stitches wide garter stitch. With ball number 5 you can add pockets or a fringe or coasters. Knits up really quick on 10mm needles.
I'm currently in the process of making a chunky crochet blanket with 30 balls of this yarn. I was amazed at the quality of this yarn, given the great price too! The color is true to the picture, it's very warm and seems to hold my stitches well, whilst containing sufficient room for stretching/blocking. I'm delighted and am looking forward to buying more yarn from this company!
This is excellent, super chunky wool that knits up fast. I've made a baby blanket and a ladies jumper with it, both have had lovely comments whilst being used/worn. The price is really good too and delivery is within a few days. I will be buying more of this wool in different colours and I've recommended it to my friends.
Only 4 because at times the yarn was bobbly
Beautifully set oft but with plenty of strength too. A lovely chunky scarf was produced so I’m very happy. Good range of colour options so there should be something for most people. It wash really well, ( I hand washed it as there was a hand spun fibre used with it). It behaved well as a hand washed item. Dried flat and looks lovely. I used it as a warp on my loom and it worked well ( as long as you are careful with your tension).
Fabulous, super chunky yarn, great quality and crochets into a super warm jumper so well. Love it!
I crocheted with this 100% acrylic yarn and found it delightfully smooth and strong. It was perfect thickness for 10-15mm hooks/needles. The 100g balls' advertised length is 60m which is about right. I've made blankets and jumpers with this. Recommended wash care is 30°c delicates. Cool iron and low tumble heat. I've washed them on 40°c regular and they've come out well; I haven't tumble dried them to see how they fare. There are a few colour choices but I found there weren't many shade...
Lovely wool to knit with , just what I wanted for my project, gorgeous colour , I’ve just ordered more .
