Review summary
Most reviewers praise the yarn's softness, wide colour range and value, and say it washes and works up well. Complaints are uncommon. Some report yarn splitting or knotting, and a few report late, missing or wrong-colour orders. Some colours have also been out of stock for a long time.
Summarized by AI
It is lovely to knit with, and it has gorgeous colours at a great price point. I use it for a crochet blanket in granny stripe. I did two rows of each colour, 4 colours in total. I love the finished look and just have to finish the border, which is shell stitch. It will go lovely in my newly decorated room, which is being done in similar colours.
I used this yarn for a Norwegian baby sweater. It knitted up beautifully and washed to a super soft finish. It has great stitch definition and softness. There was no color shift at all. I’ll be using this yarn more!
I'm using this yarn to make Sunshine and Showers, a beautiful row by row blanket designed by Janie Crow. I love the color choices and the unique stitch patterns that are always a part of her designs. This DK yarn is excellent for this project. It allows me to keep my tension consistent, and the stitch sizes the same. That’s important since this blanket is made in four pieces, with two identical pieces on the top and bottom, and two identical pieces sewn together in the middle.
I love this yarn. It is very soft, works up quickly, and washes amazing. I have used it on numerous patterns by Helen Shrimpton. I found out about this yarn on her recommendation. I use it for blankets and baby clothes. I do wash delicate.
Ich habe die Wolle für Grannysquares verwendet, die ich zu einem Pullover zusammengefügt habe. Ich bin begeistert von der riesigen Farbauswahl, der hervorragenden Qualität und dem günstigen Preis. Das Garn ist weich, genau die richtige Stärke, um bequem damit zu arbeiten. Ich mag es, dass es sehr angenehm und weich auf der Haut ist.
I am making a blanket from a pattern by The Crochet Swirl. She uses this yarn in her pattern. I love it. It’s so soft. It works up smoothly and doesn’t split. I just started it yesterday and have 3 squares done. It’s draping nicely.
I like the wide range of colours and good quality wool. As the design is Swiss darned onto a knitted panel, it gives the piece stability with the yarn being malleable but sturdy and doesn't curl or feel greasy.
I have used this yarn a lot in making hospital blankets, and it’s lovely. It crochets up nicely and has lots of lovely colours. I have made quite a few blankets, and it washes very well.
I'm using it for a Persian tile blanket. The haptik is very pleasant, soft, and easy to crochet. Unfortunately, there is a small flaw with certain colors, as they can be very thin. The bluebell, bright green, and Zitronen gelb colors have this issue. I am not finished yet, as I still need to finish the squares and triangles. It takes time, but it makes a lot of fun.
It is very easy to knit with and has great value length of yarn in each 100 grams. I'm using it for making three scarves for Christmas gifts.
