A pleasant experience from start to finish.

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.
