Absolutely brilliant service and more importantly, lovely Merino yarn!

I am using size 5mm needles as it is slightly thinner than other Merino arans, but I am delighted with the results. It's always best to make the effort to swatch, because after all, not every yarn is the same.

Very good choice and service

It is a dream to knit with. I was concerned when buying pure wool that it might be itchy but it is so soft and the colour is beautiful.

Love purchasing from this company.

I have started knitting an aran jumper with this wool. Wool is great to work with and feels warm and soft. Colour coming through great too.

Another great purchase from Lovecrafts

The yarn is lovely and soft to work with.I have only recently started this jumper so I can’t say how it will wash and wear.I am using a pattern that I already had but haven’t used before from Woman’s weekly and as expected it is knitting up nicely
