I used this yarn to make a cabled scarf. The pattern was free on Ravelry. The yarn works up nicely and is softer than I originally thought. I would buy it again!

Knits up well, doesn't split and holds stitch definition well. Used the denim blue shade to make a jacket and hat for a 2 year old and very pleased. Lovely soft yarn, I'd use again.

Lovely yarn with a high twist. Great stitch definition. Stretches quite a bit when wet though, so be aware of this when knitting.

I’ve made a top with this yarn before and it is great quality. Soft and lasts well and looks great after many wears. Love the vibrant green colour. I made a V neck vest with it and the stitch definition on the ribbing is great, so it would also look fab with cables.

Knits up very smoothly & evenly Shame about occasional knotted joins in yarn. Lovely choice of colours.
