I love the lovely self-patterned wool. It is very soft. I use it for a tank top.

Product Description
100% Antipilling acrylic double knit yarn in 10 beautiful colourways. The colour change in this yarn creates a mock Fair Isle affect as you knit. So the simpler the pattern the better. Even for a novice knitter you can create a stunning garment or home accessory. This yarn can be used to crochet but will not achieve the same Fair Isle affect, although still ultimately beautiful.

Review summary
Most reviewers praise the soft feel and the self-patterning, which gives a fair isle look without changing colours. Complaints are uncommon. A few mention balls that unravel or tangle, and some find the yarn thinner than DK or prone to splitting.

Perfect for gifts and projects
I love the lovely soft yarn. It is perfect for cowls, shawls, and scarves. I have finished two. Gifts for birthday girls.
Beautiful effect, but yarn drops off in clumps and tangles easily
I love the yarn and I love the way the fair isle effect works. I have struggled as the yarn drops off the ball in clumps and tangles up. The rewinding is time consuming and frustrating. I am now rewinding each ball before I start to knit to try to solve the problem, and it will prevent me from buying this yarn again. I am using it for a ladies jumper.
Hi Sheila! Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you love the yarn and its beautiful effect, but we're sorry to hear about the tangling. Using a yarn bowl or basket to keep the ball contained may help prevent it from rolling around and tangling. We appreciate you sharing your experience, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Soft and lovely for knitting
It is soft and pleasant to knit with. It has a lovely patterning. I am using it for a long tunic sweater.
Perfect for a jumper
I love the pattern it makes. It knits well and feels really soft. I am using it for a jumper.
I love LoveCrafts
I made a drop stitch scarf with this on my Sentro knitting machine. Absolutely gorgeous, with how the colors change through out. My machine loved the yarn, making it easy to use.
Excellent service and quality as always
I love the self knitting pattern and would highly recommend this wool to anybody. Even if you are a beginner this is brilliant for you to knit with as you don’t need a difficult pattern to follow you can just do stocking stitch and it will look really good.
Great wool, great service.
A lovely yarn. Soft and enjoyable to knit with. Produces an attractive pattern and comes in a wide range of colour mixes.
Great yarn, but issues due to user error
I LOVE this yarn! The coloring is beautiful, especially when making hair accessories and garments. It crochets fairly slowly, as it's thin, but frogs nicely and is great for amigurumi. I have made a mini turtle and a flower, as well as an accessory chain with this yarn. It is beautiful.
Good shopping experience
beautiful soft yarn that knits up to create a gentle fair isle sort of pattern as the colour changes have been well designed. My granddaughter is delighted with her jumper as the colours pop and the feel is so soft.
