Love the colors and softness
I like the lovely colours. I'm using it for making a poncho. It's beautifully soft and light. I'm less than halfway through but I love it and can't wait to see it finished.

It's an amazing yarn! The stitches lay so evenly, it knits up easily, and I love it.
This is a prime example of why yarn should be recaked even if it is already in a skein. There were 5 knots within the yarn where it knotted upon itself that I was able to remove with a fine needle. There were 2 additional knots where the yarn had broken and they knotted it back together. I was barely able to get a pair of socks out of this yarn without having to join yarn within a sock which I never want to do. I knit a bit of socks and am always trying out new sock yarn. I frequently encounter...
I have used this yarn lots of times to make socks and I have always been happy with the feel of the finished item. It washes and wears well. The colours are good too. I have not had any complaints from the recipients, only requests for more please!
Great yarn at a great price. Love the way the colours change to give a lovely pattern every time. So easy to work with, either knitted or crocheted.
I liked this yarn. Nice to knit with and quite soft . A good variety of interesting colour ways. too. Best of all there haven’t been any knots so no unexplained joins . . . I like to match the socks
The colours are beautiful and knitting gorgeous wee socks
Great colour and reasonably priced British sock yarn.
Yarn is very soft and colors are beautiful.
Already reviewed this yarn so I have no more. Moments to makev
