Great for baby blankets

Lovely wool to work with. Knits up quickly. The banana colour is neutral but not boring - perfect for a baby blanket.

Perfect yarn for my project

I needed super chunky yarn and loved the colours you had to offer. I am knitting a jacket for my granddaughter. The jacket is knitted in squares and sewn together, therefore no photos until it is completely finished. Good no problems.

Perfect colors for a quick knit

The colours are exactly what I was looking for. I made a hat and it was a super quick knit. The yarn was very slightly splitty, but I expected that given the acrylic content. It was done so quickly I barely developed a rhythm!

Excellent

I received my order quickly, but I had ordered the wrong wool, and had to return this for Aran weight wool of the same brand and colour. The returns process was quick and simple and my new wool arrived in 2 days. This has knitted up perfectly.

Good products and choices

Great yarn but splits a lot. Crocheting slower helps. Lovely colour. Even crocheting at a slower pace still creates a blanket project quickly.

Good products and choices

Have to crochet a little slower as yarn splits a lot. However as it’s chunky yarn it crochets pretty quickly.
