Great yarn for a cardigan
Good yarn, not too much splitting. I'm using it for a cardigan. It’s finished but I want to add a few things. I hope it will wear and wash well since it’s a gift.

I like the good strong colours and very soft texture. It is easy to work with. I use it for a jacket for my granddaughter.
This is one of the nicest yarns I’ve ever used, and I’ve been knitting all my life. Incredibly soft, without feeling synthetic. Perfect for baby blankets and clothes that require aran/worsted weight yarn.
The texture is great and holds work well. The colours are fab. So far, there is nothing to fault. I'm hoping it continues to knit up well and that it will wash well too.
Having not actually seen the quality when I ordered my 10 pack I was apprehensive, but it turned out be an excellant choice and beautiful to knit with. thank you
This is lovely wool
does split a bit when knitting, haven't finished the article yet, but feels soft as it knits up, colours are bright.
