Review: Wool - Nice to work with
Review: Good quality yarn for crochet - I use it for crochet and made a beanie out of it and it came out nice and warm and stretchy enough . It works well with a 4.5mm hook. The only problem with black yarn in general is you notice things stitching on to it from yarn bits to lint . So you will often Need to use a lint remover to maintain its quality . I would not recommend this color for a sweater or top as it will be difficult to maintain. It works well for amirugumi and beanies.
