    Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton:

    I made a cabled sweater out of this over a year ago, and wear it often. It shows very little wear and tear, the cables have great pop and stitch definition. Very easy to care for, and I can't wait to use this yarn again!!! A very very nice yarn for the cost. Highly recommended :)

      Nice wool...however

      By Anonymous

      from Kerrville, TX

      Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton:

      I would say the North Hampton is more of a ligther worsted weight. Not a DK and not a worsted..in between. SO, it's hard to get gauge on a pattern, using a DK or a WW yarn.

      Lovely yarn, wears very well.

      By Anonymous

      from Nashua, NH

      Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton:

      I used this yarn to knit a colorwork sweater for my husband last year (he's a one-man stress-tester for yarn) and the sweater is wearing extremely well after a year of very frequent wear and washings. It's significantly more durable than other comparable wool yarns I've used for him in the past. I've also been extremely pleased with the consistency of colors across dye lots.

      This is great wool!!

      By Anonymous

      from Anderson, SC

      Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton:

      I really love Northampton. I am knitting men's hats for my charity project and it's a joy to work with. Great stitch definition; no knots; extremely soft for wool; great value. Northampton is definitely my "go-to" yarn.

      The Only Wool for Me!

      By Anonymous

      from Undisclosed

      Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton:

      I love Northampton. I am currently knitting my second large project with it: a queen sized intricately cabled blanket. Along with being the cheapest 100% wol yarn there is, is incredibly soft and shows off the cables beautifully. I especially love the way this yarn feels in natural, though I have worked with almost all the colors.

      Truly good wool, exceptional value

      By Anonymous

      from Undisclosed

      Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton:

      I hesitate to buy 'house brands', especially those spun in Latin America. Too little quality control and too much inconsistency. Not so with this light worsted. I ordered twenty skeins in Forest Green, mostly for the price and the color. Just to know what I was getting into, I rewound a skein - no knots, no fraying, no variations in the pigment and a smooth, even twist throughout. I did notice a couple of thin spots, but only because I was really looking for them. The difference was minimal and certainly not enough to negatively impact the finished fabric. I hand washed a swatch in cool water with a no-rinse cleanser and detected no bleeding, and it blocked beautifully. It is also surprisingly soft for a 'workhorse' wool - an added bonus. Whoever is producing this for Webs got it right; an exceptional value for this quality and selection.
