Delighted with this wool / alpaca yarn.
Super soft and easy to knit with. Produces very even, smooth result. Unusually, I had to use a size up from that recommended by the pattern to achieve the correct size tension square. I would choose it again.

This wool is of excellent quality and is great to work with. I had to order a couple of extra balls and was delighted to get the same batch number. The service was prompt and efficient.
Lovely soft wool , great quality. Knits beautifully Very defined stitching Lovely alpaca mix
Soft and good texture making yarn
Soft, easy to knit yarn, good colour selection- shows up texture well
The pattern and recommended yarn works up into a beautiful throw.
I don’t know if I’m an advanced beginner or a I don’t know if I’m an advanced beginner or an Intermediate knitter/crocheter (I do both) I do know that sometimes it takes several starts for me to understand a pattern, but I always, eventually, do. This made into a beautiful throw. The recommended yarn was beautiful and very, very soft. However, it sheds. I had difficulty with the charts so after several Attempts, used the directions.
Great company for everything yarn and handicrafts
Knits up beautifully. When Im lookingvto knit something else in chunky knit I will certainly look at using it.
Lovely soft and easy to knit
This is a nice yarn
I am more than half way finished with the cardigan I’m knitting with this yarn. It is really nice to work with. Very little splitting, and if I have to frog back, the stitches stay put for getting them back onto my needles fairly easily. I have 8 balls, and have used 5 so far…all have been contiguous without any joins, however, one ball had 3 areas where the yarn ply became very thin and would break without much tugging, and I had to cut these areas out and rejoin to my work. The color is true...
This yarn worked well to make a felted Christmas stocking. It turned out very fuzzy after felting which was a delightful surprise!
