Lovely soft wool, very easy to work with. I'm crocheting a throw and was able to get all of the colours I needed to match a rug in the room. The colours and textures are just what I wanted. My throw will be a bit of a project, and it won't be finished for a long time but it keeps me occupied and I'm enjoying working it!

Ah Stylecraft Special DK - I always spend a long time looking for good quality affordable yarn. So many choices. And if I look for a particular colour in greater quantity I always end up with Stylecraft Special. Good quality acrylic, nicely soft, even for baby projects, with great stitch definition. And the colour choice! To be honest I usually ask my husband to choose for me, because I can't make any reasonable decision with so many gorgeous, saturated colours. I usually go for strong juicy shades, but this time I'm working with brownish Walnut and it's simply stunning. It's going to be a very sophisticated vintage looking sweater.

Lovely soft wool, a pleasure to work with. So far, unlike other yarns there are no surprise knots or "thickened strands". Haven't washed the finished work yet but hopefully it will wash as per ball band.
