Color mismatch for my cardigen

Unfortunately, the yarn arrived a different colour than advertised. The yarn I received was quite dark and more brown than the yarn I was expecting. I needed to get the project finished, so I didn't have time to send it back.

I was very pleased with this yarn. It knits up well, has a good feel and texture and is lighter in weight that some other yarns I have used.

Decent wool , not enough

The wool itself is great texture and colour. Unfortunately the 4 balls I ordered are slightly short to complete garment. I am short of 6 rows and cast off to sew up. I have previously completed garment in 4 as written clearly on pattern. I have tried to order another ball of wool but it is now out if stock ( as are many other colours) Very disappointing. I will make the effort to buy locally in future!

Excellent to knit up. Making chunky socks, should be very warm with wool and acrylic blend.
