Exceptional service and beautiful yarns
Fantastic! Soft to work with by having Aloe Jojoba oil infused. While knitting it looks as if it is Fair Isle (but without all the work!)

The wool felt good . Knitted up well. I had enough wool ( the person has huge feet! ) I am using my pattern from1961 which is tried and tested. I went back to knitting socks when my 103 year old neighbour had to stop and passed me her remaining wool!!
This yarn comes in some beautiful colors. It's nice yarn, but can be a little "splitty."
I love this yarn. It is so soft and the colors are so vibrant.
I love the colours. I can’t wait to knit my socks.
Lovely soft yarn and knits up well.
Lovely colours - soft but robust yarn.
I enjoy working with this yarn when knitting socks . It is soft,wears well and it is great to have a wide selection of colors and patterns.
The yarn appears to be so old that it is rotting! Fuzzing, splitting, unraveling. Not what I have come to expect from the Austermann Step product. I have loved this yarn manufacturer and it has been difficult to find a source for it in the USA for several years. I was excited. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!
Perfect . Just as described.
