Great quality yarn for jumpers
I'm using it for knitting a jumper. I have used this yarn before and was pleased with it. The yarn is a good quality and washes well and doesn't pill.

King Cole Fashion Aran is a yarn that knitters come back to. Reviewers describe it as comfortable to knit with, and many say it knits up beautifully, with no splitting or knots to interrupt a project.
The shades are subtle and autumnal, and the range covers solid colours and tweed-effect flecks. One reviewer says the coloured flecks give a lovely tweed effect in the finished fabric, while others praise the vibrant colour choices.
It has been used for aran jumpers, cardigans and a jacket, as well as hats and a poncho for a child.
Customers say it is a pleasant yarn to work with, with a comfortable feel in the hands. Reviewers also report that it washes well and doesn't pill, so finished garments keep looking good with regular wear.

It knits well and was just the right colour. I'm using it for a tank top.
I love the lovely yarn to work with and the great choice of colours. I'm using it for a cardigan for myself. It’s lovely. I’ll send a photo when it’s finished.
It is a comfortable yarn to knit with and a myriad of colour choices, plus it is a very reasonable price per 400gram ball. I am enjoying knitting my daughter a second poncho, she already has one in the purple flecked yarn
Brilliant price for a very good wool. I knit my husband a sweater with the previous purchase I’m now doing a second one as he’s well impressed
This is a good yarn for my project. I'm making a baby jumper from a Debbie Bliss pattern. This yarn gives the jumper an interesting look and stands up to a lot of washing .... in the washing machine (let's face it, new mums are busy people!). I get asked to knit this for lots of babies!
Lovely yarn. Doesn’t split, quite firm, so I wouldn’t use it for a child, but it’s excellent for a proper Aran sweater for me.
Love this yarn. Great quality and value for money. 30% wool content make itideal for Aran sweaters.
Beautiful to handle and crochets up well. I wanted red, white and blue colours but I also wanted a muted look. It was perfect.
I have had 5 lots of this aran and am pleased with all 5 shades lovely aran to knit with and washes very well on the items ive washed
