Summarized by AI
Nice yarn with good stitch definition. I bought 15 skeins, have used half of them so far, and haven't run into any knots! I like the fact that the wool content is higher than other mass market brands, while the yarn is still machine washable and dryable.
It is a great yarn, especially for now with the winter temps dropping! It is easy to work with, even though it's wool. It is my go-to purchase for 2 years for the Christmas holidays. Makes for a great hat or scarf. It is also a great find at LoveCrafts at an unbeatable price!
Just spent $!000.00 on wool for a blanket I am making for my granddaughter,going to Duke University...I have made 8 blankets in the past and have always purchased from Lovecraft'
The yarn is as advertised. It's a good brand at a good price. Colors are as shown.
Their yarn is always described accurately
I knit for charity and this yarn is perfect for hats and scarves for our veterans in need of warm garments.
