I am more than half way finished with the cardigan I’m knitting with this yarn. It is really nice to work with. Very little splitting, and if I have to frog back, the stitches stay put for getting them back onto my needles fairly easily.
I have 8 balls, and have used 5 so far…all have been contiguous without any joins, however, one ball had 3 areas where the yarn ply became very thin and would break without much tugging, and I had to cut these areas out and rejoin to my work.
The color is true to the photo, and is ever so slightly variegated, but overall looks like one color. It is knitting up into a medium weight, warm, soft fabric with nice stitch definition. The category of “bulky” is accurate.
I would buy this yarn again.

I don’t know if I’m an advanced beginner or a I don’t know if I’m an advanced beginner or an Intermediate knitter/crocheter (I do both) I do know that sometimes it takes several starts for me to understand a pattern, but I always, eventually, do.
This made into a beautiful throw. The recommended yarn was beautiful and very, very soft. However, it sheds. I had difficulty with the charts so after several Attempts, used the directions.

This wool is of excellent quality and is great to work with. I had to order a couple of extra balls and was delighted to get the same batch number. The service was prompt and efficient.

Super soft and easy to knit with. Produces very even, smooth result. Unusually, I had to use a size up from that recommended by the pattern to achieve the correct size tension square. I would choose it again.

Knits up beautifully. When Im lookingvto knit something else in chunky knit I will certainly look at using it.
