Nice Yarn

I didn’t expect to find knots in the middle of the balls thankfully I spotted it before I started the row! Colour choice was great and it is knitting up nicely

Life dk by Stylecraft positive review

I like this yarn a lot. It does sometimes split a little but not badly. It feels soft and isn't pilling. The look is very nice. I thought I had purchased enough but ran short. I had to reorder a skein and was worried the dye lot difference would be noticeable. Imagine my surprise when I got the same dye lot :)

I couldn’t love this yarn more! It’s soft, the colors are great and it handles beautifully! I’m making Janie Crow’s Mystical Lanterns pattern. It’s fun to crochet and is going to bd gorgeous and soft!

I bought this as it is the suggested yarn to use in the project I am making. It feels like 100% wool but makes up soft with no stress on the hands. The colors are almost identical to the photos. I have not washed it yet as I’ve just started. Love Crafts ships promptly.
