Such an incredible yarn. Plush but not too soft, easy to work in any stitch, doesn’t shed. Will absolutely be using this in future projects.

Pure delight to work with. Baby soft and fluffy, knits up beautifully. The colors are to die for. Placing another order soon!

I love working with this yarn. I have found that it does shed a bit while working with it but by the time your item has been washed and blocked it stops.

This yarn is AMAZING! I’ve knit sandnes garn patterns multiple times with this yarn and it looks gorgeous, so warm, and quick to knit because of its weight.
