Stylecraft Aran Yarn
I love the Stylecraft Aran, it’s the only yarn I use to crochet. It is a good price and with all the years of buying it I’ve never had any problems with it. It washes up lovely and stays in shape.

Soft and easy to work with
I love Aran wool, and Stylecraft Aran wool is so soft and very easy to work with. I'm currently working on a blanket for a friend. The yarn is really easy to work with, the best I’ve used so far. It works very well.
Perfect yarn for all my projects
I have been buying this yarn for a long time now for both knitting and crocheting blankets, throws, soft toys, and children's clothes. I keep coming back to it for several reasons: it's lightweight, it comes in many colours, it's well-priced but doesn't feel like a cheap yarn, it's nice and soft to work with and doesn't split, it wears well, and because it's acrylic, it can be easily washed. I use it for snuggle rugs for my 4 grandchildren. They love them and wrap up in them to watch TV or read...
Great for crochet projects
It’s comfortable to work with, and it produces a nice even tension. It gives a nice result with knitting and crochet. I'm crocheting a Christmas tree skirt for a display in our village library. It feels nice slipping through my fingers and holds the stitches well.
I love the way it knits up each time. It has a gorgeous texture when doing Tunisian crochet projects for those really cold months. It washes extremely well and retains it's shape too. Lovely colour palette to choose from. Definitely a repeat purchase.
So Much Temptation!
This wool is perfect for the blanket I am making for a 5yr old going into her first big bed!😄 It knits up beautifully, no unexpected joins, holds it shape and washes well (important when knitting for kids) I am using an old honeycomb blanket pattern which lends itself to many colour choices, vibrant oranges, yellows and reds are a favourite with cream to break it up - Pics are 1. Using my latest purchase the wip coming on nicely 2. Using up your stash or buying sale wool mix bundles can result...
Great service! :) First order and worth the wait.
Here in America use worsted weight yarn (category 4). I read over the years that Stylecraft is a great yarn, so I decided to order the Aran weight. Let me tell you, this yarn is amazing! It has an almost wool-like texture and it's very soft. The selection of colors is great for the price and yardage it's worth every penny. I would recommend this yarn. I should've ordered this yarn years ago!
Soft and durable yarn for baby projects
It is lovely and soft for a baby jacket. It is great to work with. It doesn’t split and no breaks in yarn.
Love Stylecraft Aran
Stylecraft Special Aran is my “go-to” for the dog snoods I knit for a greyhound rescue charity. It’s excellent quality, with no knots and no thinning. I’ve had no reports of it being itchy for the dogs that they’re bought for. It washes beautifully, maintains the colour and shape.
THE REAL DEAL
I use this all the time,have done for years. It knits up beautiful and strongly recommended it. Good value for money.
