    I wasn’t sure about this brand. But I tried it and placed an additional 2 orders after the first. I like how it’s packaged in compact skeins, and ready to go. Easy to use and a dream to knit with. The colors are nice. There’s a dusty tinge to the colors that I like. Has an earthy and organic vibe. I’ll buy again.

    These are made of the natural material and are soft. They are Knit Picks brand yarn, 110yards, 50gram balls. Love the color. Hand wash and dry flat. I haven't had the opportunity to knit with them yet. But I know it will be fabulous.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2023
    This yarn was great to work with. I’m a newer knitter and wasn’t sure how the quality would be, but Knit Picks yarns, in general tend to be pretty good now that I’ve experienced a few of their yarn types. The price is amazing for the quantity and the wool itself isn’t too bad against my bare arms. I usually wear at least a t shirt under this sweater. Wouldn’t recommend this yarn for people who are very sensitive to wool since it’s slightly more rustic.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice wool yarn!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024
    This yarn is an excellent value for the price! For crochet, it works up very nicely with almost no splitting or snagging. It's also in that sweet spot of being usable for worsted and DK weight projects by changing hook sizes. The colors were very consistent throughout the pack and the yarn itself has a strong but airy loft. In double crochet, it works up into a medium-weight yarn fabric that folds nicely in all directions, and has a stiff drape. My one downside is that this yarn is not soft. It may soften with washing, but straight out of the pack it is rather scratchy. This does not bother me as the piece I'm making is not going to be worn against skin, just something to note. Also, it is pure wool so hand wash only unless you want it to felt! Definitely would recommend for a fiber crafter looking to explore more natural fiber materials.

    This yarn is so soft and the color is just exquisite. It is also very easy to work with. It does not tangle or twist, I have not found any knots in it either. The yarn also does not separate, it stays tightly twisted while being worked with. Once it is worked up it is warm and soft.

    It's good yarn, it has a fantastic color but they are about half the size of your regular spool of yarn.
