Trustworthy
Great yarn. Very warm - ideal for winter gloves and cowl. It is a smooth strand and shows the detail of the pattern well. Almost no breaks in the skeins. I was so impressed, I bought a second order to add to my yarn stocks for next year.

Review summary
Most reviewers say this merino DK knits up well, shows stitch definition and feels soft. Some mention a thinner yarn than expected, occasional knots, or delayed orders. Complaints are uncommon.
Summarized by AI
Although at first it seems lightweight for a dk it knits wonderfully with clear definition when working cables as I did. It’s incredibly soft and warm and was perfect for the baby blanket I made.
My number one choice
I’ve made a top with this yarn before and it is great quality. Soft and lasts well and looks great after many wears. Love the vibrant green colour. I made a V neck vest with it and the stitch definition on the ribbing is great, so it would also look fab with cables.
It has a lovely finish and washes well. I have 6 grandchildren and they all wear the garments and they still look great after loads of washes and lots of rough and tumble
Will keep coming back
The swatch was accurate and the yarn itself is super soft and easy to work with. Love this yarn!
Love lovecrafts!
Very easy to knit with, good quality yarn, dye lots don’t vary significantly, great value for money and great range of colours!
Part way through knitting a sweater. Knits up easily, doesn't split, looks nice and firm, even texture, colour just what I expected.
One happy knitter
The nicest DK yarn Ihave ever knitted. So soft, does not split and knits up beautifully

Great service and yarn
This is very soft and easy to work with. Love it. I am an experienced knitter and the yarn doesn’t split or bobble.
