This yarn has a lovely soft feel when knitting . It forms a “fluid” fabric with a delicate sheen.
My mistake was that, initially, I had ordered by weight. I had calculated that five balls would be enough(5x170g=850g) to make a sweater. However, I quickly realised that the yardage was far less than the usual 800g of Aran wool.
The Little Wool Shop came to my rescue. Within two days of ordering from them the additional wool arrived.
Lovely colour and softness to wool, perfect for baby blanket. Great customer service, the wrong colour was initially sent but was very quickly rectified.
I love this yarn. It has a slight sheen to it, that gives it a classy look when knitted up.The colour range is great.
It comes in a compact form like a long roll, which is great to carry around. Highly recommend.
Nice colour and soft to use. Crochets well and this yarn always makes products look good.
Yarn had a tendency to split
