Comments about Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted:

Well, I was very happy when I got it and while I was knitting with it, it is soft, knits well and the colors are wonderful, but then the colors start to pool up and unless you knit it at a very tight guage, (a much smaller needle than recommended like 4 or -) the garment will stretch out of shape (for wool this yarn has no 'memory') and it also fuzzes up quickly and then pills and I only hand washed it and flat dried it ONCE superwash my sweet A-- I made a shrug and with what was left some mitts the mitts stayed in shape but were made with very small needles and are full of pills the shrug forget it garbage! At 19 bucks a hank (6 hanks)I feel I was seriously ripped off

This yarn is absolutely lovely to the touch and pleasant to knit with. In general, I concur with the positive reviews offered by others. My only beef with this yarn is the way that the colorways are created. The color repeats are (generally) too short to stripe, but too long to appear variegated (for most applications). Consequently, this yarn pools like no other. Nevertheless, this yarn is still lovely in pretty much all other aspects.

I made a gorgeous pair of socks using this yarn. I used size 5 double pointed needles, for a gauge of 5 stitches per inch. I loved the weight for a cozy pair of socks; and they were so much easier for me than the super fine sock yarns!!

I ordered two different colorways. Not only are the colors beautiful but the yarn is so soft and pleasant to knit with. I want more of this yarn!
