lovely soft yarn, good to work with. It is advisable to do a swatch and wash it before measuring, as it makes a difference

Great yarn. But beware! It’s 150 yards not 220 per skein.

The Aran superwash 220 charcoal is my go to yarn for male cardigans with intricate cable patterns. W will be making a third one One was size XL. Another was 4 TXL. The third is going to be TXL. I ORDERED TOO MUCH YARN but I wanted to be sure I had enough. So I made a pair of winter socks (to mid-calf) for my husband. He loves them: he said they keep his feet unusually warm (our floor gets cold in the winter). The yarn is warm to the touch. Not scratchy during working with it as well as during...

Knits up very well. I’ve had to rip out several times working on a pattern a bit higher than my abilities. It keeps its nice, soft feel and strength. I will be buying this again.

The wool is soft enough for a baby blanket. It’s also great that it can be washed.
