"A good quality yarn with excellent stitch definition. It is worth noting that some shades are more subtly heathered than others; the Hawthorn, for instance (a dark red) is very subtle indeed, just enough to distinguish it from a flat shade, whereas with the Gorse (yellow-green) it is a lot more obvious."

Lovely yarn to knit up. I love the slight variation in colour. I'm using it for knitting a fairisle cardigan using 2 colours, and it's going well so far.

love this yarn, it looks like wool, doesn't itch and I've made 2 blankets from it already. The colors are subtle and amazing. My next project is a vest for me.

Love the heathering, perfect weight. I am knitting a diagonal scarf, with alternating colors, number of rows following the Fibonacci sequence. For a math geek, obviously.

This yarn is more wooly than the special DK which makes it feel more like a shetland sweater even though it is acrylic and washable. I also like the heathered look, I bought most of the colors and I'm planning projects around the subtle differences in each color range.

Number 1 for knitting

Great range of muted subtle colours, with very nice feel. They go well together in the fairisle project I am knitting. Good meterage and knits up well. I love the colour mix, compared to just a standard plain colour

I love working with the colours. Id love to send a photo of my work but my stupid phone does not show the colours properly, in fact makes the work look horrible. I have been making bedspreads for family and friends. Definitely no complaints so far. Its also very easy to order, a must at my age. I love the recent shades of red, orange, which have really added to my list of colours. It makes lovely gifts for special anniversaries and other special occasions.
