Carolyn Phillippo –
Love this wool, and the pattern is quick and not difficult. I’m on my 2nd pair.
Elizabeth Scott –
This yarn has wonderful striping with beautiful color combinations. The only thing you have to take into consideration is to match the beginning color combination used in the first sock when knitting the second sock so that they match perfectly. This yarn comes in several colors. I have knitted all I could find and the socks have become my children’s’ favorites. The yarn has a very nice hand. I highly recommend it and will continue to buy it in the future!

Seems fine, but as a new knitter I have no experience to go on. Does not split, and I love the colours.
Customer –
Easy to work with. Lovely colours. Knits up fast. No knots or flaws. Washes well. I’ve bought it many times
Customer –
lovely – ordering more
Customer –
lovely will be ordering more

Knits up beautifully and I love the way the colours change as you knit. The socks I knitted have already been through a wash in the washing machine and came out good as new. I’d recommend this yarn to anyone wanting to have a go at knitting a pair of socks.
Maureen Stafferton –
Nice sock yarn, knits up beautifully. If I had any negative comment it would be that the yarn is not as soft as I like but will do a nice job. The colouring & pattern when knitted is impressive.
Gabi Chandler –
All good arrived speedily nicely packed and it was in good condition too
Customer –
Lovely choice of yarn, knits well and feels good. Just started cable so way to go to finish but looks good to so far. Yarn was on sale so extra bargain
Kathy –
I love making socks from this wool. It is colourful and has a nice feel to it. I wash them in warm water and drape them on a drying rack to dry. I only wish more of the options were in stock.
Kathy –
So fun to knit! What a great combination of colour! Love this wool – it doesn’t pill.
Rarely has a knotted connection in the ball.
Customer –
Not used this yarn before but was very pleased the way it knitted up.
Pleased that it was marked to enable a match pair of socks, I usually try to match socks but sometimes it’s a little tricky.
Would purchase this yarn again and pleased with your quick delivery LoveCrafts.
Barbara Taylor –
Great yarn for socks. Yet to see if I vaguely match the colours
