Good service after purchase
This wool felt harsh and scratchy. I was disappointed because that’s not how it was described I’ve the website implies it’s soft. I think it says it’s suitable for blankets but I don’t think it is at all.

Excellent prices
I really really like this yarn. One of the "longwools", it has a beautiful shine, it is strong, and has a fuzzy halo reminiscent of mohair (but not as much).

It is a DK weight and I am knitting it as such, but it does feel a little bit "thin", but I think this is rather typical of Wensleydale. I think it would also make a very good...
I am really liking this yarn. It does feel closer to a sport weight than to DK - with 4mm needles I get 23 stsx32 rows, which is slightly denser than the tension indicated on the label, but I am happy with the resulting fabric. It keeps the shine when knitted up, and also a slight halo. It has good stitch definition while being drapey, though I can imagine that a loser tension might lose the definition a bit.

fantastic site
Oh I`m in love with this yarn . Have`nt started knitting yet but can`t wait . It`s so soft and light with a slight sheen to it and the colour is so vibrant . Just what I wanted
Great yarn choices and great delivery of a luxury yarn
It worked up beautifully both knit and crochet swatches. I am planning on using it in an entrelac scarf.
