Hedgehog Fibres Sock Yarn (Copper Penny)

Let me first say that I LOVE Hedgehog Fibres yarn. I own quite bit of it and I understand that hand dyed colors vary from skein to skein. That being said, the yarn I received was in no way the color shown. There is NO green in this yarn and there's no golden color to it. This yarn has brown in it and is a chili pepper red color. The color is gorgeous and I'm going to keep it, but, it isn't anything like the color that is shown. I did look up this color on another sight and the color I received is Copper Penny.

Just what I would expect from Hedgehog fibers, perfection! The product is exactly as described and arrived in perfect condition. The colorway is exquisite. This will turn into a vibrant pair of long-lasting handknit socks!

Do not like this loosely-plied yarn at all.Very frustrating, as it splits, even with # 1 needles.Actually, I’d like a refund but am already done with over half a fingerless glove.I am an experienced knitter, so splitting is not something I expect in this 21st century.I don’t see how anyone can work with this yarn.

Love the vibrant colors. Making a pair of socks and love how they are working up.

I won’t buy from them again. The yarn was so tangled I couldn’t unwind one yard. I decided to cut it and use the longest stands as an accent color in a pair of socks. When I started knitting the yarn split so much it was a waist of time. I hate to waist money so I’ll try using it in a weaving project. This yarn also piles up. Very disappointed. I was initially attracted to the color and the percentage of wool. Word to father wise don’t buy anything that’s called fools gold.

Hedgehog fibers sock yarn has a terrible reputation for splitting easily. I do not understand why the company does not change bases. Also, if you have to deal with their customer service directly, do not expect any help. I would recommend Madelinetosh. They care about their customers. In my opinion, Hedgehog Fibres only cares about the dollar. Interesting yarn. I would seriously consider going to a different company for wild colored yarn. Their other bases have issues also. Not sure why they don’t change them up. Dyelots can be an issue but this company has too many dyers dyeing and even with color recipes it creates too many inconsistencies with colorways.
