Great for ponchos
I'm using it for a poncho. It drapes really nicely.

Very easy to knit producing lovely soft and beautiful sweater and many toques in a range of colours. This is by far my favourite yarn.
Great Service
Gorgeous yearn and a great substitute for the suggested yarn for the pattern I was working on. Very, very soft and bulky when knitted up. Such a beautiful yarn, just loved working with it. Photo of scarf is a free pattern from Yarnsirations and hat pattern from Prem Knits.
Delighted with this wool / alpaca yarn.
Super soft and easy to knit with. Produces very even, smooth result. Unusually, I had to use a size up from that recommended by the pattern to achieve the correct size tension square. I would choose it again.
This is a nice yarn
I am more than half way finished with the cardigan I’m knitting with this yarn. It is really nice to work with. Very little splitting, and if I have to frog back, the stitches stay put for getting them back onto my needles fairly easily. I have 8 balls, and have used 5 so far…all have been contiguous without any joins, however, one ball had 3 areas where the yarn ply became very thin and would break without much tugging, and I had to cut these areas out and rejoin to my work. The color is true...
This a beautiful weight and rich colour. I have used for a sweater and slouchy toques that look great. Will use again.
This wool is of excellent quality and is great to work with. I had to order a couple of extra balls and was delighted to get the same batch number. The service was prompt and efficient.
Lovely soft wool , great quality. Knits beautifully Very defined stitching Lovely alpaca mix
Quality wool ordered because of good description of yarn
Gorgious wool and colour as I wanted. It's knitting up beautifully and is going to make a warm and practical jumper for my husband
Beautifully soft and bulky yarn. Excellent substitute for the recommended yarn.
