Nice wool, good range of tweedy colours but I wouldn’t say this is Aran weight. It knits up as a double knit weight with slightly smaller needles than suggested and with the suggested needles it is very loose in the knitted swatch even though my tension is average - not loose or tight. So I only bought enough to test a swatch and will make a scarf or something small but disappointed that I can’t make the sweater I was wanting to knit which calls for proper Aran weight yarn. I didn’t wash the...

Happy with the purchase
Wonderful yarn, creates beautiful garments. Perhaps not for beginner knitters because it can be a bit hard on the fingers and breaks easily. The yarn blooms a lot after washing. I knitted a hat from a previous purchase and I get many compliments. This time I will make a hat for my husband too.

This is lovely wool, and knits up beautifully. The texture is very nice - the thickness of the yarn is variable, which is disconcerting at first, but looks good once it's knitted. The colour (I chose the dark navy called Midnight) is particularly attractive, and the tweed effect perfect. The yarn feels rough but somehow knits up soft. My only reservation is that the yarn comes in 50gm hanks, which you have to rewind into a ball. I think this would be very difficult if you don't have someone to...
This yarn is fabulous!
It’s nice to knit with. I made double moss stitch headbands with it. It held its pattern/texture and shape. Will buy it again 😁

This wool comes in a very nice range of colours. I chose the dark grey and like it. I bought it without feeling the texture and found it a bit lacking in softness at first. However it fluffs up a little after washing and is fine. It washes well.

Good quality wool - packed well and delivered within a couple of days. Communication excellent.
Lovely yarn. However I've started a project but I cant find the last two skeins so I'm not sure I'll be able to finish
The colors are beautiful. But this is not an Aran weight yarn., not even a 4 in my opinion. Very disappointed.
Lovely colour, but rough texture and hard to knit with because it keeps twisting up.
Excellent product
I found the wool very easy to knit and soft to touch.
