Beautiful Yarn
Loved this yarn! Very soft, good "sport" weight, bought it in four colors for spring/summer sweaters. I always appreciate a good quality vegan yarn.

For sweaters and hats. This yarn has a beautifull color palette, but it splits. I do not know if the other colors are the same as the dark blue one. I feel discouraged to finish my sweater. It has been a tedious labor to get below the arm holes. I gave it 3 stars for the color.

Comments about Valley Yarns Longmeadow:
I knit Etched Copper, a lace sweater, and love the results. However, the yarn does split so I had to change to a less pointy needle. It's a great yarn for light weight summer sweaters.

Comments about Valley Yarns Longmeadow:
I'm allergic to wool, so this is a great substitute. I really love the way the yarn drapes and has a weight to it. Plus I wanted to knit something that wouldn't be too warm in the Fall or Spring and this material is perfect for it. You'll see from the picture that I'm still working ont this sweater but that it displays great deifinition.

Comments about Valley Yarns Longmeadow:
Very soft - knits up nicely. I used it to make a "Leaf Yoke Top", and the results were lovely. I was very pleased with this yarn. I actually had to rip the beginning part of the top out 4 times, because of errors I had made, (it was a tedious pattern) but the yarn held up beautifully. No evidence of wear and tear.

Comments about Valley Yarns Longmeadow:
Wanted an easy-care, soft cotton yarn to substitute for a yarn that the Child's sweater pattern called for (which I did not care for).
This product fit the bill! The microfiber content makes the yarn softer and less heavy than cotton. The white is beautiful - snow white. Plus, it is machine washable, which a busy mom can appreciate. Stitch definition was fantastic, and I've attached a pic of the finished Child's Beach Hoodie to illustrate same.
The only drawback is that the yarn has a tendency to split (as does most cottons), so knitting requires attention. However, this yarn is nowhere near as splitty as other cottons I've used (such as the one I was substituting)!
I would definitely use again.
