Valley Yarns
Valley Yarns Sheffield
You will think Valley Yarns Sheffield is far more expensive than it is from the opulent look and feel of the silk/angora blend. Milled especially for our own Valley Yarns line, Sheffield is smooth and slightly downy, perfect for experimenting with colorwork or techniques such as short rows and darts. The sophisticated palette lends itself to gorgeous garments, accessories and home decor projects. Made in Italy.

This yarn is a wonderful mix of luxury component fibres that give it softness, elasticity, a low sheen and a lovely soft halo. Great value for money. I am very impressed with Valley Yarns. Unavailable in Australia, thank goodness for the internet!!

This yarn creates a beautiful lightweight fabric that looks great knitted and crocheted! and even better, it grows even more beautiful once it's blocked. I must have more!

For having silk in the blend it is not as drapey as I expected, but it is very soft, tightly wound - bouncy yarn great for cables and patterned stitches. Very good basic all around yarn nice to touch and easy to knit with, no splitting and rips out well too.
Wonderful

This yarn is wonderful. It's extremely cushy, and knits up beautifully on size 8 (5.00 mm) needles. I made a pullover from this, and it feels like a warm hug whenever I wear it.
One note of caution: 15% agora might not sound like much, but after a little wear, it does shed significantly. Not recommended for anything that will get much abrasion. Wonderful and 5-star-worthy nonetheless.
so nice!

I used this yarn to knit vintage capelet with lace detail, and it turned out beautifully! especially after blocking. I'm only giving it 4 stars because in 4/4 skeins, there was one knot. every time i came to the middle, it was like clockwork and there would be a knot.. oh well.. I still love this yarn!
Lovely

I recently knit a shawlette which included a lace panel along with stockinette stitch, to give as a gift to a very good friend on a milestone birthday. When she picked it up, she asked me if it was cashmere! This yarn is lovely to work with, it's soft against skin, feels luxurous and has just the right amount of haze. I am going to be purchasing more!
