I’m a beginner knitter but decided to splurge a little on a hat I was making as a gift to my partner. The color was beautiful, the yarn was super soft and easy to work with, and my partner loved their new hat!

Oh this yarn! I was giggling like a little girl while patting a ball of this yarn against my cheek like a powder puff when I received and opened my package. It’s delightful, and I can’t wait to use it to make Janine Myska’s Fifty Below sweater!
Fabulous Yarn, soft, and easy to knit with. I am a social worker in a big HS, and lots of teachers covet this yarn.. I also teach kids to knit with this and recently the new soft Happy cotton yarn I always give them the website (and someitmes I share some of my extra yarn, as I always have alot in my room at school . BEST
I wish we could attach photos to reviews!!! I made a throw blanket from this wool/alpaca yarn and I love it so much!!! Very much worth spending the money to get quality yarn!!!
so soft and squidgy and an absolute dream to knit with as an absolute knitting novice! colours are absolutely vibrant and delicious and I can't wait to be done knitting it so I can get to wearing it!Value is 4/5 because I've never bought wool from anywhere else so I have no idea how it stacks up but I shan't be shopping anywhere else!
Although expensive, the yarn was nice to work with and my sweater was finished very quickly. It seemed like the balls contained more yarn than expected since my pattern called for 8 balls, but I finished in less than 6.
.......first hand wash and it is not encouraging - hoping the wool fluffs up again during the drying process. Really disappointing as not cheap wool but hopeless if it can't be washed easily without damage.
Love this wool as it is so easy to knit with and the finish it produces is very neat looking. The colours are great.
