Hayfield Bonus Aran is a smooth, easygoing yarn for knitters and crocheters. One reviewer wrote, “Very pleased with yarn so far - very smooth and no knots!”
Customers say it knits up well and is easy to knit, with a pleasant hand that makes longer sessions comfortable. Reviewers describe the finished pieces as lovely and soft, and one knitter who made a cardigan for a grandson said, “It’s so soft.”
Colour is a strength. Reviewers say the shades are true to the online listing, and the wide range means there is something for most projects.
The smooth finish suits patterning, cabling and intarsia, as the product details describe. One reviewer making a cardigan for a grandchild plans to buy another colour if it washes well, and another said it didn’t split when they worked with it.

I’ve used this yarn many times. It’s great value for money. I’m making a blanket with it. It’s quite an easy design using garter stitch and just three colours. It’s going to be cosy when finished. I’ve done quite a few Aran jumpers in the past and the yarn works well.
I loved everything about the yarn! It felt easy, soft, and smooth. It is also a bit elastic, which means fitting is easy to adjust when worn. I made a sweater for a friend and she loved it. I loved it too.
The colour PEACHES (888) is the BEST I have found for making dolls with a realistic skin colour. I always go back to this one. My only complaint is that although it is labelled as "aran" weight yarn, it is SIGNIFICANTLY thinner than any of my other Aran yarns, and as such, the dolls come out about 25% smaller than my other dolls when I use other Aran weight yarns. Be prepared for it to be thinner than you are used to for Aran yarn. This is definitely not Aran weight, but the colour makes up for...
I gave two stars because the texture of the yarn is smooth and I liked the color but I do not recommend purchasing it because the yarn company is dishonest. They labeled it as Aran weight yarn when in fact it was Sport weight yarn. That's Sport weight at 12 wpi (wraps per inch; wound around a pencil). Aran yarn is 8 wpi. It was impossible for me to use for my project so I asked for a refund. Thankfully Love crafts after seeing my photos and documentation about yarn size did refund me... to...
I'm going to make a shawl for a friend in Canada. It has a pretty colour called Peaches and how soft it is.
Lovely yarn to knit with. Orchard colour doesn't show the different coloured threads as much in life as in large sized picture but it's still a nice dark green for an Aran sleeveless waistcoat and true to normal size picture of the yarn.
I love how smooth this yarn is, and it's so easy to crochet with. Also, beautiful subtle colours
Lovely wool. Knits up very well. Very light and warm.
Delivery is very good it exceeds most online retailers what ever you're buying. The yarn is smooth to knit with for my waistcoats.. It has good yardage which is an added bonus.
As an experienced knitter and crocheter of over 60 decades, I'm familiar with Hayfield Bonus Aran. I have usually found it to be a good quality despite its budget price. However this last purchase is disappointing. I would not call this Aran, it's more like DK. It's thin and wthout substance. The colour is good, but not quite as dark as I would have liked, however I'm aware that ths is often due to computer screens inability to show true colours. The yarn is soft and has, so far, been free of...
