I've tried quite a number of different yearns / brands and this one is great - knits up well, easy to knit with, and washes well.

This yarn knits up very well and is a favourite amongst family and friends.
Beautiful wool to knit with. Pattern works out perfectly. Arrived vacuum packed so easily put through the letterbox. Once opened it sprang into life.
I had two balls of this lovely soft wool and have knitted six socks, 3 pairs. The rainbow dye has produced a very attractive fair isle type random pattern. In each ball however there were Sadly two knots that disrupted the pattern the colours formed and came as a surprise in a place where a knot would be in an uncomfortable place under the foot when walking.
Loved the way it was vacuum packed so it could fit through the letter box
Beautiful patterning nice colour would buy again
LOVE this product. It feels smooth to knit with and I'm sure the socks will be very cosy. The pattern is amazing - knits up just like the photos.
I was delighted with everything about this yarn.. firstly the packaging.. it was flat, nothing like wool, until I opened it, when it sprung into life!! Lovely yarn to knit and my granddaughter loves her funky socks :) :)
The colours in this yarn make it a pleasure to knit. I've knitted Opal sockyarn before - it knits, washes and wears well. Woolstack provided prompt and we'll packaged service. Thank you!
