Yarn weight differs from expectations

The yarn is more like an Aran weight than a chunky. I am using it for a gents crew neck but have frogged it. I am looking for an Aran or worsted pattern. I have not yet started, still looking for a pattern.

Hi Rosalind! Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the yarn weight wasn't quite what you expected. Yarn thickness can vary slightly, but it should still fall within the specified weight range. We'd like to reach out to you directly to learn a little more about your experience and check this further. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention!

Lots of brands to. choose from

I needed one more skein of wool in the snow colour to complete my project. I was very happy with this yarn and it handled well when I was knitting with it.

Good Company

I bought this yarn as it was recommended for the pattern I wanted to use. Although this is a lovely wool I am extremely disappointed that it has been catalogued as Chunky, which it is most certainly not! This wool, feels between a Double Knit and an Aran.

Very good choice and excellent service

Lovely wool to knit with, though I would put it as Aran thickness rather than chunky. Really nice colours too.

Good service

Generally good but not as thick as usual chunky wools and feels a bit rough.
