I've made two sweaters and a vest with Linsey, and I love working with the yarn and wearing the finished products. While the ribbing at the neck stretched for one sweater, the body of the sweater was fine. I adapted the pattern to close in the neck a bit, and it is now fine. It is important to match the gauge to keep the stitches firm. The colors are beautiful; I want them all!

First time I wore the sweater, it stretched in length and width several inches over the day. My pretty sweater ended up looking like I was wearing an old rag by the end of the day. Can't tell you how disappointed I am with this yarn.

Comments about Berroco Linsey:
positive:I liked the product's texture and appearance. the colour variations work well. finished product has a good hand feel.
negative: Each skein had a knot somewhere in it. Some skeins were easy to wind, out of eight skeins purchased 2 skeins took 2-3 hours to untangle most half hour to hour. for yarn this expensive more care should be taken for better quality control with time spent unwinding skein I believe I could have completed one side of sweater

Comments about Berroco Linsey:
I'm knitting a sweater with this yarn and am very happy with it so far. It's a soft summer weight yarn with beautiful drape.
The colours are gorgeous and look just the way they do on WEBS.
Great service from this company as well!

Comments about Berroco Linsey:
This yarn knits up really nice. I love the feel of the linen, rugher than cotton, but really soft. It has a nice sheen to it. I made one shawl for a gift, and had to order more yarn for me to have one, the yarn is that nice.
