Great quality yarn for toy projects

I’ve knitted 2 chunky toy snails from a King Cole pattern. The girls were delighted. It is lovely yarn which I have used before. I knew it was good quality and a great price just right for the project. It didn’t split which makes a real difference when shaping for toy projects.

Reliable wool for all projects

I have been using this wool for years. I have never had a problem. I use it for children cardigans and hats. This project is for squares for blankets. It is just as good.

Perfect yarn for a cozy blanket

I'm using it for a blanket. The video I watched suggested this yarn. It is finished! It has perfect drape. It is not stiff and folds perfectly. When used, it drapes around the body. I gave it away as a gift.
