Sharon Cantrell –
Simply DK is good yarn at a good price. It is warm without being heavy. The skeins I have used had no knots. I have made knitted pullovers with it. It is a bit thicker than some DK acrylic, so I went down on the needle size. I do recommend it as a good value. If you want wool in your yarn you will pay more, naturally.

Good economical yarn, crochets well and doesn’t split. Great colour match if I need to order more to finish a project.
Mrs J Wells –
Great to crochet with, proper DK weight not thin like some other brands. Will use again.
Customer –
Labels are sometimes stuck to the yarn and the glue won’t dissolve in water so you end up cutting the yarn part way into the skein. Also the ply unravels easily, splitting the yarn so watch carefully.
Customer –
Repeat order, used this yarn for years, always reliable.

guest review please –
The average score is not a fair assessement for all the yarns I bought in the sale; the lilac/purple, green and aqua were very good. That real DK thickness which works up wonderfully. However, it has to be admitted that the white yarn (for some obscure reason) was thin and almost skimpy all the time, with very long lengths of weird winding, so that the effect was thin with tiny bobbles all along and amost uncomfortable to crochet. I was quite upset as the white was instrumental in the baby blanket I was making and the white hats, socks/booties and mittens I planned. I had to dump those plans because the white yarn was faulty and not good at all. Other than that, the other three yarns were very good indeed. A failure in Turkey, maybe – quality assurance not doing their job??? Very disappointing for the business, who work hard to offer good yarn. The factory needs a much better control of the process . However, it is still a pleasure to do business and especially at “deal” time. I bought loads! CAS
