Bought this to crochet a lacy cardigan. The stitch definition is decent, though it's not as soft as I would like for 'premium acrylic' and splits a bit easily (it isn't super sturdy or tightly wound). It's a great price though with a fair amount of yardage. I'm halfway done with a size M cropped cardigan and I'm only about 1.5 skeins in.

Review summary
Reviewers most often describe this yarn as soft and warm, and several say it works well for double knitting. Complaints are uncommon. A few mention that the yarn splits easily and is thicker than 4-ply.

Mentioned most
Yarn is very easy to work with, I'm crocheting granny squares with it. Is a thinner yarn than double knitting yet feels warm and soft. Only reason I gave 4 and not 5 stars, was lack of choice in colour. Would recommend.
The wool is too thick to knit as 4ply, but does knit well using a double knitting pattern.
The yarn is too thick to knit on fine needles as per 4 ply pattern. I am using it as double knitting and am more satisfied with the softer outcome.
Very satisfied with this yarn
Lovely soft yarn perfect for my project
Order arrived quickly
This yarn is slightly thicker than a normal for ply. It splits easily, meaning I've had to go back and redo stitches quite frequently. I'm used to having occasional breaks in yarn that have been knotted, but one of the balls seemed to have more than usual! It's also a noisy yarn as it squeaks a lot on my hook 😂
