Beautiful colors and soft texture
I love the lovely yarn to knit with, and the colours are beautiful. I am using it for a scoop neck vest, and the colours have developed into stripes which are very attractive. It is soft and doesn't split.

I love the lovely yarn to knit with, and the colours are beautiful. I am using it for a scoop neck vest, and the colours have developed into stripes which are very attractive. It is soft and doesn't split.
Love this wool, especially the Sundown and Citrus colours. The yarn is really soft and beautifully warm to wear. 3 balls make a beautiful hat (with earflaps), a pair of two-way gloves (mittens fingerless) and a 6-foot scarf!!!
A pretty yarn that was easy to crochet with, I like that I can go to LoveCrafts and almost always find what I wanted. I like to buy my patterns there too!
I like the vibrant olours and quality of the wool.
I was so pleased to purchase the Hayfield wool. It is difficult these days to locate a local shop that sells such a wide variety of excellent wool. The wool knits up beautifully and the colours are vibrant. I am so happy with Love Crafts and the yarn.
I ordered, hayfield wool to knit a cardigan for my granddaughter. The wool is lovely to work with. I received it a few days after I ordered it that's what I call fantastic service 😀
I’m putting this together with another orange/ yellowish yarn. It’s perfect, adding rich, warm autumn tones to the blanket I am making.
Just started knitting a slouch hat. So far it is knitting up perfect and the size of the ball means no joins will be needed in my project
Bought this to make a sacrf for a present. I love the weight and the colour changes. It knits up very nicely.
So colourful and soft, easy to knit with.
