Tell us what you think about it.
Last year, I bought a pack of 10 DK. I made a Rowan sweater with it and only used half of the pack. This year, I bought two extra colours to use all my yarn in a different pattern. The new yarn mixed in perfectly. It goes a long way and feels lovely and soft.
I wanted a dark blue to make a top-down sweater with snowflake motifs, and this yarn was perfect. It knits up so beautifully, I've loved it so far. I'm using a size 4 US needle, and I love the results.
Yarn thickness changed throughout a single ball. It also had fraying in the middle of the ball, yarn split a lot as well. Yarn is fine if you know what to expect, but it’s a cheap product, so quality is not great.
Wool was great, as usual. Delivery with Post Office was nt as quick as with Evri
Perfect for the childrens Christmas jumpers that I make every year for charity
Knitted a gorgeous cosy jumper. Enjoyed knitting with this yarn. Turned out nice again.
knitting up really evenly
Great value for money when you consider the fibre content. It’s not the softest yarn I have worked with but has lovely stitch definition.
