Super pretty, versatile wool
The colour options are absolutely beautiful. The yarn is great quality for a low price, and it knits up quickly into really pretty hats. I have made 3 hats and an infinity scarf, and all look beautiful.

Just wanted I wanted
I loved the colours, and it’s perfect for the gift I made for my best friend. I'm using it for a small blanket to go over her knees. I crochet the blanket.
I love the lovely yarn. I'm using it for my grandson’s jumper.
Hilary Chunky wool
I used this wool to make a superb waistcoat. Easy to knit, no bobbles and grows quickly when knitting. I love the colours in this "Hilary " wool true to the picture
Couldn’t be happier
I adore this wool! It is beautifully soft, it works up quickly and smoothly and the best bit is every ball I’ve used has pulled easily from the centre without that horrible yarn spew! I use a 9mm hook which produces a lovely fluid garment.
Even Marco Polo would enjoy exploring Love Crafts
Beautiful wool, great for winter and autumn days. Love the colors. It's super soft too so i can wear it against my skin. So glad I took the plunge and bought this beautiful wool.
Excellent service.
This is a lovely yarn to knit with, although I prefer to make garments using a 9.00mm needle rather than the 10.00mm needle recommended for this yarn. The colours are really spectacular.
Excellent service.
I have knitted 3 different garments with this yarn in various colours and I and my granddaughters are delighted with them.
Lovely product
I really like the yarn. Knits really well and nice and soft. My pattern said 6 balls but I needed more than this - I think probably due to the weight of the wool Fortunately I was able to order more of the same dye lot. Love Crafts communication with me was excellent.
Excellent quality of service & products
Beautiful quality and colours of this yarn now about to start a second project in it but different colour.
