Review on 🧢 Soft and Super Chunky Merino Wool Yarn - 8 lbs Ivory White - Perfect for Arm Knitting Projects by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is roving wool, not yarn. Wrong product name! You must know the difference.

I knew it was a rollator when I bought it. That's what I wanted. But if you're expecting "yarn" then this is NOT what you need. Yarn consists of several twisted strands that are twisted (wrapped) together. Roving are combed fibers of wool collected in a loose strand that can be easily torn and separated. Roving can be used to spin yarn, but it is not yarn in this form. Reviewers who complain about this roving falling apart and the fibers falling apart are experiencing first hand what a roving should be. It's like complaining that the toaster does not dry the socks well. Again, this is not thick yarn. Although people use it for "hand knitting", it is NOT real yarn. This is a roving intended for spinning into yarn on a spinning wheel or for various felting works.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
