Knitted up okay but yarn thickness was very variable.

I love this yarn and have bought it in several colour ways since purchasing this one. It is soft, knits up quickly and well. The jumper that I knitted has since grown in the wash, so my advice would be to be sure to dry it flat.
Excellent quality colourful wool.
Not used yet, but lovely colours
Lovely soft wool. Easy to work with and it looks great. I substituted this wool for the patterns recommendation which twice nearly twice as expensive.
Lovely wool , good price
Great but disappointed the wool didn’t come in a net bag 😟 like last time
Very colourful and quite easy to knit only fault product fell apart had to make sure it didn’t knot
Nice wool, knits up well. Lovely and warm with a great variety of colours. Have used it several times.
For the most part this is a nice wool, the only reason it doesn’t get 4* is because it’s thins out to 2ply at one point and then to a 4x chunkier than it should be at other points. which has left me concerned about the strength and durability of the garment I’m making and the neatness as well. I am hoping to do some sewing with the wool in the same colour at the end around the thin area to give it some strength. It has happened several times now within one ball of wool, so much so that I have had to cut large pieces of wool out of the ball and reconnect the yarns to avoid using the distorted wool. It’s not confined to just one ball either. Sadly this also upsets the colour work/pattern. For future work I will use a different wool as I do not want to have to deal with this again.

Hi Nicki,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a Trustpilot review.
We're sorry to hear you are disappointed with the yarn you have received.
This specific yarn is designed to be slubby, meaning the thickness can alter from thinner to much thicker throughout the ball.
If you do find this yarn isn't suitable for your project, you are more than welcome to return any unused yarn back to us via our free returns link for a refund.
This can be found on our website or via our customer care team.
Kind regards,
Luke.
Lovely soft yarn. Knits up nicely. I love the colour combinations.
I have used it numerous times and it's good Value for money
I love this product beautiful shades of colour I shall be ordering more soon x
I’m an avid knitter , not enjoying knitting with this yarn, it is very easy to split a stitch when knitting . Also has a fluffy look, I’m persevering but will be glad when the article is finished
The stitches can split I found slowing down just a little resolved the problem. I normally knit and watch the telly. I can still do that but making sure I have picked up the whole stitch. It does knit up nicely and I love how the colours are coming up and will certainly brighten up a winters day. As there are many different shades I may buy some more. At the moment I am using the shade rainbow
A beautifully soft wool that knits up really well, it’s luxurious to work with and will look great as a scarf against my green coat.
Lovely bright colours, nice wool, knits up well but prone to splitting. Would still use again although expensive.
Lovely quality
Knitted up lovely interesting to work with never sure what the next shade will look like. Made a bobble hat Pom poms are great.
The first ball I used broke after casting on 100 stitches. I am now on ball 4 (of 10) all have been fine
