I really wish this lovely yarn shop wasn’t closing. I have bought yarn from here many times, and was always satisfied with the quality, and the service. They carry my go to yarn brand, Drops, that I use for almost every project. A lovely selection of yarns, and a wonderful seller. I’m heartbroken to be saying goodbye. I wish you all the brightest of futures, and happy knitting.
Just arrived today going to be doing a baby blanket with it as it was recomended in the pattern . Colour as near as possible as it is in photo . I just started knitting with the first ball and before i even cast on 60 stitches there was a knot where the wool was joined then after 14 rows yet another knot joining the wool . This is a baby blanket i am knitting so not happy that i am having to join the wool all the time . This cost me around £50 for the wool . I have never had this with any other wool
I have not started knitting this yarn yet. It will be a winter project but I have knitted Drops Merino Extra Fine before,and it is lovely to knit, wear, and wash.
This is my second time ordering from Knitted Home and it is turning into my go-to place since the yarn is packed really well and always arrives so soon!
Ive never seen or touched that yarn but the friend I sent it to who is knitting it up informs me it is beautiful yarn- perfect for the pattern. Looking forward to wearing this adult size Norwegian patterned design, ribbed jumper this Christmas. Happy me!
