Customers often mention the lovely colours. Reviewers say the palette is superb and that the shades are vibrant, with strong pigment, making it easy to find something that suits a project or complements yarn already in your stash.
Several reviewers describe the yarn as easy to work with and enjoyable to knit. One says the MillaMia Soft Aran is easily the best they have knitted with, and another calls it a great texture that is a pleasure to handle.
Customers say Aran patterns show off their texture well, so cables and pattern stitches stand out clearly in the finished fabric.
Reviewers report that the yarn washes well, and that finished pieces are lovely and warm. One buyer knitted a hat with a pattern stitch for an adult son, who found it warm and very comfortable to wear.
Buyers describe using the yarn for hats, cable scarves, winter hats crocheted by hand, and garments for adults, children and babies. Reviewers say it suits cardigans and other textured projects particularly well.

I have made a cowl, so I wanted something soft and warm. I also loved this colour. The yarn has knitted up beautifully, and the smoothness shows the cabling really well. It's sadly not for me, but a Xmas present for a friend.
I'm knitting an Aran jumper for my son-in-law in Australia. He loves the one I knitted previously for our daughter, his wife. It’s soft and non-scratchy. It’s lovely to knit with. The only problem is I need 4 more balls, but it's not in stock. Please bring it back!
While in Ireland, I bought 2 skeins of Aran wool. When I returned home, I thought to look for Aran wool at your site. The color was perfect to complement what I have, and the price was excellent. It’s just as described.
I am making icelandic sweater for my grandchildren. I'm learning how to carry the colors of yarn in the pattern. The yarn holds up under my need to undo and redo the color pattern to handle tension and carry on the yarn. The colors are lovely and blend well. It looks to me like the entire range of colors was blended to work together in any combination. I have used this type of yarn in my cable sweaters for my children. I wash them on gentle with Euclan soap and dry them lying flat. This yarn...
Beautifully soft, lovely colour (charcoal), easy to work with. I bought the yarn in three separate batches (the project took more 50gm balls of yarn than I expected!) and fortunately all three dye lots were the same. Would certainly buy it again. Haven’t washed it yet, but don’t anticipate any trouble.
It's beautiful wool and great to hit with. I bought a lot of this and made cable bobble hats. Stitch definition is superb.
This was a substitute yarn for one that has been discontinued. I used it to knit from a hat pattern by Debbie Stoller. It knitted up beautifully and probably better than the discontinued yarn. I just loved the colour and softness of the yarn and the hat looks brilliant.
Knitting a beautiful soft jumper, pattern says 100% cashmere so I’ve substituted it with 100% wool same weight and gauge and it knits up perfect.
The MillaMia soft aran is a beautiful yarn to knit with. I’ve used it to knit hats and am in the middle of knitting a cable scarf with it. The yarn knits up perfectly and is so soft and beautifully warm to wear
