I like the texture, the consistency of the yarn, I have made numerous beanie hats on circular needles for the whole family lovely colours too.
Maggie Greig –
This is a nice yarn to work with and I’m pleased with the result so far. It dropped a star for the knots which were able to be hidden in my work. Great price point. A good economy yarn.
Maggie Greig –
A great economy yarn. Haven’t tried laundering it yet. Yarn is a good weight but some balls have knots. This has not stopped me ordering more for my next project.
Maggie Greig –
A chunky yarn that lives up to its name. Weight feels perfect. Looks like a 3 strand yarn and some knots occasionally on single strands. These are small enough to hide.
