Great yarn!
I used this yarn to make a cabled scarf. The pattern was free on Ravelry. The yarn works up nicely and is softer than I originally thought. I would buy it again!

Good range of products
Knits up well, doesn't split and holds stitch definition well. Used the denim blue shade to make a jacket and hat for a 2 year old and very pleased. Lovely soft yarn, I'd use again.
My first go to place
Lovely yarn with a high twist. Great stitch definition. Stretches quite a bit when wet though, so be aware of this when knitting.
My number one choice
I’ve made a top with this yarn before and it is great quality. Soft and lasts well and looks great after many wears. Love the vibrant green colour. I made a V neck vest with it and the stitch definition on the ribbing is great, so it would also look fab with cables.
A good quality yarn
Knits up very smoothly evenly Shame about occasional knotted joins in yarn. Lovely choice of colours.
A lovely yarn. Beautiful colours and knits up very smoothly and evenly.
Good supplier of quality yarns at fair price
I have only just started making a second cowl neck cabled jumper using this beautiful Rico Marino wool but the wool is knitting up delightfully. The first 15cm of the back looks great and the yarn has not irritated my wool sensitive skin.
Beautiful yarn and a pleasure to use. The finished cowl will be lovely to wear in the cooler weather.
Affordable and good Merino wool from a no- fuss, easy to use seller.
Nice wool. Washes well. I like pure wool - supports farmers, doesn’t pollute environment with man made fibres and feels nicer to wear.
