I have used this yarn for multiple projects and love working with it. It wears and washes well. The DK weight is perfect for our PNW climate
I wanted something to learn color work, and to learn some basic techniques. I made a bunch of swatches. Learning different stitches. Blocking. Now working on a child’s sweater with color work. I like the yarn. I will definitely purchase more. Lightweight, soft, it handles well especially for the area I live in.
While I was excited for the order delivery. I forgot to look at the weight when I ordered. O was expecting a #5. So I sit trying to come up with ideas for this yarn that I am not used to working with. I usually don’t spend over 100$ either. So I am making the best of what I ordered and moving on.
I purchased this yarn as it was part of a kit and wanted to see how the DK compares to the wool ease recycled. It's comparable in weight and similar in yardage(slightly more with this yarn). It isn't as soft, even after steam blocking, but is manageable against bare skin of arms, I still have to wear a tank top with it or my sensitive skin would throw a fit.
I didn't have texture issues working it up and that's huge as I really can't stand anything with an off texture.
I was sad about the fact that I ordered this yarn as part of a kit, I was sent the number of balls the kit stated it required, the same number for both a M and L despite extra rows for the L, checked gauge, and was making the M size vs the L, yet still ended up short. This is unfortunately the second kit in this same order where the amount of yarn in the kit ran short and I had to make modifications to the patterns to finish them off. It's not exactly the end of the world, but I am disappointed that I couldn't even finish off the bottom ribs of the sweater after all those hours of work. I've also never run short on yarn kits before, so it was an unpleasant surprise.
Anyway, good yarn for those who are fine with a tad more texture, enjoy standard Wool Ease yarn but want a DK weight or can't find the exact color in the Wool Ease recycled line. I'll probably buy another ball just so I can finish off the pattern, the bottom hem should have 2-3 more FPDC alternating with SC to match the pattern, but I'll be weighing any future balls before I break into them to see if it's truly a full ball.
I enjoyed using this yarn for the Falley Shawl pattern. Because of the wool content, it was a bit drying to my hands and the yarn did separate a little when I had to fix mistakes. But, overall, I am pleased with the finished project and would purchase this yarn again.
I bought Wool Ease as a kit for a cardigan. I'm not finished yet but already am so impressed with this yarn. It's not splitting or tangling, it slides well thru my fingers. So far the drape is beautiful. I can't wait to see how this sweater finishes.
