Summarized by AI
It has great texture. It feels snuggly and cosy, providing instant warmth, but never too hot. It is amazing quality. I made a blanket.
I have used this wool many times to knit a baby cocoon. It is an extremely soft, chenille type wool which is perfect for a new baby. It always inspires lots of compliments. In fact, my daughter in law recently asked me to knit a second cocoon for her 3 month old as it is so cosy, that baby falls asleep immediately!
Lovely stable yarn, did not shed whilst I was working with it. I purchased black and grey, both colours true to the description. I used it to crochet cats for Christmas presents for my nieces. I would buy this again.
King Cole Yummy knits up beautifully. It's lovely to work with and so soft and cuddly. I have made several baby blankets with it and all babes have loved it's softness.
Lovely chunky velvety yarn. Crochets up beautifully and fast. Used to make blankets for uni friends of my daughter who all craved the one i made for my girl!!
Easy to use once you get used to the thickness. Really soft and squishy when made up too!
Beautiful, soft, snuggly yarn for baby swaddle robe. Sadly very few places stock this yarn. Love crafts excellent at dispatching orders and was received within 48 hours on standard delivery!
