Excellent wool so soft and easy to knit with
Pattern is complicated and not for the faint of heart, but the yarn is soft and beautiful. Can’t wait for the finished results
Very nice yarn - knits up easily and doesn't tangle
Lovely yarn
Beautiful aran wool to knit with - quite expensive for a large garment but exceptional quality and it was a Christmas present.
Knits up very well. Looks good, soft but not fluffy. Good classy look to finish.
The yarn is soft and lovely to handle. No splitting, good stitch definition. First time use so not sure how it will wear.
I bought Debbie Bliss Rialto Aran. I am pleased with the smooth way it is knitting up. Had to use smaller needles but the pattern was not for this wool.
Excellent wool have used before knits up well and for winter warmth excellent
My wife has now used the Aran wool and was thoroughly pleased with the end result. She would definitely buy again.
