Always fits my purposes

I have enjoyed knitting with this yarn. He hasn't broken up. I made a hat out of it and was pleased with the result. Well blocked.

Cons
  • Doubtful

COLOR NOT EXACTLY

Deep olive is absolutely NOTHING like the photos in the product description. Very disappointed with the color. It's more of a muddy brown with a cool undertone. Not the bright warm green color shown in the photos in the product description. One star for that.

Pros
  • Needle size 7 or hook size 7
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Patons make quality yarns that die hard knitters know and love. I haven't bought them in years and almost forgot how good their wool yarn is. I was commissioned to knit some WW1 American Red Cross items for a presentation for a local history society and I wanted everything to be as authentic as possible, that is, using wool yarn that isn't superwashed.

Pros
  • Hand wash, dry flat
Cons
  • Available in white only
