Slightly dusappointing, wool will split easily into strands when knitting.
Lovely wool to knit with and good value
Beautiful colors. I’m still waiting on a restock of one color before I can start my project.
I’ve just started crocheting a jumper for myself and it’s lovely to work with. Unfortunately the pattern I chose(cinnamon swirl sweater) proved too awkward to follow 🙃
