Amazing yarn for versatile projects

It's my favorite yarn ever. Soft, yet perfect for crisp cables. I'm actually using it for my first ever attempt at knitting a plaid. It's going to be a vest, and since it's my father's tartan, I'll wear it to Highland Games. Watching it come together is perfect. I only wish the navy was just a bit lighter, as it blends too closely with the black. I only hope the weather isn't too warm. I'll definitely be adding more to my stash soon. I have several suitable patterns, including a stranded knit...

Simply the best!!

In love with this wool! Wish I had bought more but was a tester for a project so only bought one. Hook recommendation is right, 4 hook is perfect. Lovely when balled up and really nice to use. Love the multi tone in it as well, looks different depending on which way you look at it.

Great online yarn store!

First time using DK weight yarn. It seems closer to a sport weight to me. (I know there can be some crossover between sport and DK.) Nevertheless, it knit up to gauge just fine. The yarn wound easily with no join knots and has good stitch definition. I like how soft the yarn is. It isn’t cashmere, of course. But I would use this for babies’ and children’s knits and not think twice about it. I would absolutely buy this yarn again!

This is my go to yarn for knit scarves. It has a soft drape, but holds stitch definition very well. Comes in a lot of gorgeous rich colors, too.
