The colour options with this wool was great for what I needed and has been working up really nicely and not splitting as I have found with some other cotton yarns. I’m crocheting a baby blanket using bobble stitch pictures and they come quickly and well defined"

Great yarn!

The yarn is knitting up well and was a good price too. My group are knitting a large throw with squares of different stitches, a panelled backing and fancy Edging. I am doing the edging — all 5.5 yards of it! It will eventually be raffled for charity.

Super helpful

Fair price and high quality with large selection of colors! The only downside may be that cotton separates and is not stretchy but the pilling is nothing dramatic!
