Disappointed with this yarn.
Lovely to knit with but the jumper I made has pilled very badly in a few weeks of wearing. A real shame as I was initially very pleased. I would not use again.

Lovely to knit with
It is lovely to knit with and good value for money. It’s a mix of wool and synthetic.
Quality wool
I bought some of this wool last year, but had a couple of projects to finish. Once I started with this wool, I came back for it in another two colours. It has a lovely handle and knits well. I am excited to start with with other colours. I bought the Green and the Ecru and came back for the Blue and the Pink.
Excellent service and product.
Excellent yarn, good value for money. Knitting up beautifully. I bought 6 balls of the Pistachio to knit pattern number 10062, it's a lovely simple pattern and the different colour specks in the yarn make it look very special.
I’m enjoying knitting with this yarn. Feels nice and knits up well. Delighted to be using recycled material and like the slight fleck in the yarn.
Excellent yarn. Knits up lovely, in fact I liked it so much I'm on my second colour, and have bought more to knit a sweater for my daughter. Very pleased with this product
This yarn has long yardage per ball and is excellent price. It knits up reallt well and I have used a number of colours. The light grey has little flecks of other colours.
Good prices and good service
Lovely to knit with, a fine DK with lovely texture which produces a lightweight yet warm fabric.
Brilliant, give this company a go!
Knits well. I like the fact it's recycled materials. Washes well too.
Knits very well. Feels soft and the colours are good. Good choice of colours considering that the yarn is made from recycled materials (the fact that the yarn is recycled was the main reason for buying it).
