Review summary
Many reviewers praise how Opium looks, its colour range and how quickly it knits up. Some find the thick and thin texture hard to work with, and a few find stitches and rows hard to count. Complaints are uncommon.
Summarized by AI
This was a totally different wool to knit with but I was very pleased with the results. I belong to a knit and Natter group and was introduced to this yarn by one of the other members who was using it. It ended up with almost all the members making themselves a sweater or cardigan we loved it.
I am the process of knitting a wrap. Lovely colour options available. I have found it easiest to knit with very little tension, and I do have to keep my eye on what I am doing, as the texture of the wool goes from thick to thin and the thin stitches, sometimes cross. But on the upside, the pattern is simple garter stitch and the resulting effect is stunning, almost cobweb like. I don't think I would have the patience to knit a more complicated pattern with it, although a summer cardigan would...
This yarn is something a bit different and gives a lacy effect without having to do any of the hard work.
This yarn knits up fast, is lovely and warm, and looks good, knits as per pattern, would recommend, my sisters were impressed with the result thst they have bought the wool to knit one themselves, i am just knitting my third cardigan on this wool, and i will probably knit some more
My local yarn store doesn’t carry this fun yarn so I am thrilled you do.
The yarn knits up very quickly and looks sensational only downside is it does as shed on denim jeans
Lovely yarn which knits giving a light open weave type affect with the thicker part of the yarn giving a bit of block colour. Super for summer patterns and I’ve now tried three of the colours in the range!
Bought the wool to knit cardigans. I have knitted two in the past. Easy to follow and knitting grows quickly. The most difficult row to knit is the first one because of the texture of the wool. You do need to watch what you are doing whilst knitting because of the texture and varying thicknesses of the yarn. Love the outcome. Can be used to dress up an outfit but also looks good with jeans.
I am well impressed with this yarn. I found it knits up lovely with a thick and thin cotton weave all through the ball. I also used a pattern recommended for this yarn which was easy to read and perfect size fit. Already knitted two items and on my third.
Great thick and thin yarn very soft to the touch with a true navy color. While the yardage is a bit on the small side for the size of this yarn it is an excellent choice to give your project texture and depth.
