It is a lovely yarn to knit with. I’ve used it many times. It also washes very well and looks great on. It has been washed several times now and still looks good. I do have another jacket I knitted in this wool if you’d like another photo.

Customer Reviews
Good website.
This yarn was fine, I like that it's a wool blend. However, this particular colour arrived and appeared more like a firetruck or cinnamon red, when the photos indicated a darker shade, more like a maroon. This was disappointing.
I cannot wear anything that is all wool against my skin. This blend, although I still cannot use right against my skin, makes it possible for me to make a sweater- and I love it for making chemo hats for our hospital. It is a very nice yarn- plumpy and squishy that allows for nice stitch definition! It’s soft!
Currently knitting with it. Is is nice to wok with, and I have not been aware of it splitting. Really nice feel about it.
does split a bit when knitting, haven't finished the article yet, but feels soft as it knits up, colours are bright.
Having not actually seen the quality when I ordered my 10 pack I was apprehensive, but it turned out be an excellant choice and beautiful to knit with. thank you
Good company for knitting supplies. I have been using Lovecrafts for years.
I used this to make a large, multi-coloured Afghan blanket for my granddaughter, who loves it. The yarn is easy to knit with and I like the practical 50/50 blend of wool and acrylic for an item that will get a lot of wear over the coming years
I am knitting a child’s Aran cable cardigan to send to Australia, have used this wool often because it knits up good and washes well.
