Very nice to knit with on 6mm needles. Mixing with other colours of Flutterby to make a soft and warm blanket for an adult.

Soft and enjoyable to knit with

It is soft, fluffy, and a pleasure to knit with. I am using it for a blanket each for my new great granddaughter and grandson. I have been using the same pattern for 13 years. However, due to a flaw in the pink yarn, I needed to unpick a row and join up at the edge, as I don’t join in the middle, especially as it’s a blanket. I like that as long as ends are secured and sewn in carefully, it works well.

Soft wool, but frustrating issues

The wool is lovely and has excellent quick delivery. My only issue is that on the cream wool there were some undyed areas after using, so I had to start again with a fresh ball. There were also some random knots, which again made me abandon the project and start again. I have also had the issue on some of the others with knots, so an hour of work is wasted. This was frustrating, but the wool is very soft and I will continue to use it. I am making blankets for my granddaughters.

Colorful but not robust

I loved the confetti colour of this yarn, but it was quite thin and broke easily when crocheting and pulling on the magic ring. I stuck with the magic ring after a couple of attempts though. It also shedded a lot. It was fine after completing the cat.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you liked the colour and that you were able to complete your cat despite the difficulties you experienced. Chenille yarn can be more delicate than other types of yarn and may shed or break if pulled too tightly, especially when using techniques such as a magic ring. We really appreciate you sharing your experience. If you have any questions or need any help, please just let us know.

A very happy customer

My 90 year old mother (who is diagnosed with vascular and Alzheimer’s disease) had reached a point a few months back where she was struggling to knit. Within a few rows she would have to start again due to so many mistakes. She was forgetting how to knit basically. Then she was given a ball of this particular wool. Since then, she has been knitting almost perfectly. It has been such a turnaround. I went online to find some more which is how I found Love crafts. We were able to match up with the...

Would highly recommend

I have pretty much every colour of this wool and it’s lovely to work with! I make baby blankets with it and It makes a soft, durable blanket. I have also washed all the blankets I’ve made on a 40 degree wash for 45 minutes and it doesn’t come apart. I would highly recommend.
