Comments about Valley Yarns Charlemont:
Feels light and soft, but a bit like acrylic, and has too much sheen. Splits every other stitch while cable casting on small needles. Colors have depths. I am knitting a Fair Isle with one skein of Louet Gems so we shall see what the FO will look/feel like.

Comments about Valley Yarns Charlemont:
Purchased yarn after the holidays and made a pair of socks. The yarn was so much better than I anticipated. Will be using this yarn a lot. Used the grey color with mulberry for rib heel and toes. So happy with the results. Wish they had the yarn in beige color.

Comments about Valley Yarns Charlemont:
In the interest of keeping the peace in my marriage, I am always looking for reasonably priced yarn that is enjoyable to knit. I am using Charlemont to make a Stripe Study Shawl by rain knitwear designs. I am so impressed. Charlemont is a generous fingering weight yarn -- perhaps it could be used as a sport weight. It has a lovely sheen. The colorway has depth. It is soft. I would love to see Charlemont produced in charcoal, my favorite knitting colorway, and pink, because I think it could be great for baby knits.

Comments about Valley Yarns Charlemont:
Beautiful yarn-nice soft sheen, lovely hand, and shows stitch definiton beautifully. Nice price and has some serious yardage-one skein made a pair of stockings for my rather large feet. One drawback is that this yarn shrinks like crazy!! I found that if I preshrunk it (hot water bath-ice water shock X 4) it didn't shrink much after this in the wash. This yarn makes beautiful soft and comfy, yet sturdy socks. I really enjou knitting with this yarn!!!

Comments about Valley Yarns Charlemont:
I was smitten with Charlemont from a far, while knitting, and now while wearing. Soft hand, durable and a pretty sheen...all that is missing from this staple of a yarn is a full spectrum! Colorwork takes a full spectrum to create and since I have purchased all but 2 colors I too would purcase more...especially yellow, gold, wheat, cream...capesh?
