Comments about Briggs & Little Heritage:
This yarn is a fantastic buy for the yardage. It is a sturdy yarn that would be great for a cardigan or coat/jacket. It's a bit coarse, but I love the sheepy color. I ordered some in a medium gray and can't wait to make some mittens with it. I'm using the Sheep's Grey for Jared Flood's Guernsey Wrap.

Comments about Briggs & Little Heritage:
I haven't used this yet. Bought the blue heather. It's gorgeous! I am planning on ordering more. This is going to be a really functional yarn. I live at the beach, so warmth and casual-ness is what I'm after. This yarn is swatched and ready, so I know it's going to be gorgeous!

Beautiful wool for a heavy sweater. I also love the color, and it displays the ornate patterns I'm working with beautifully.

Comments about Briggs & Little Heritage:
I purchased this yarn to make a sweater for my boyfriend. It has a coarse but not unpleasant hand, and softens significantly with washing. This is not a yarn to put against your neck, but would be good for jackets and sweaters intended to be worn over long-sleeved shirts.
It's a good value substitute for other rustic yarns, like Brooklyn Tweed SHELTER.

Sturdy - probably more useful for knitted items not next to the skin. Did not work well with other yarns in the Christmas stocking. Cascade 220 and Vintage.
