      Comments about Freia Fine Handpaints Lace:

      This is the first lace yarn that has enough substance that I can tolerate knitting, and I look forward to the lovely color changes, which also helps to get the project done faster. I tend to abandon projects if I get bored, but Friea never bores me! The sport weight is also a great product and is a bit more versatile. All great stuff!!!

          am knitting a shawl with this - it has beautifull, long colorg changes and the colors in this colorway are very deep and rich.

          A joy to knit

          By Karla

          from Halifax, NS

          Pros

          • Dyed Evenly
          • Good Weight
          • Nice Texture

          Cons

            Best Uses

            • Scarves

            Comments about Freia Fine Handpaints Lace:

            The yarn is crisp and strong and dyed beautifully. It's a joy to knit. I think it would be perfect for a beginning lace knitter as the weight is not too fine and it's easy to pick up an accidentally dropped stitch.

              Always searching for creative freedom to come up with even more fun projects to make and wear. I'm mostly focusing on head, neck, shoulder coverings; unique pieces to accessorize or providing comfort for the wearer.
              Very happy what is on my needles! I've completely fallen in love with Freia Lace (its texture and long color transfers) and I think you will too.

                Making a lacey shawl. Soft and light weight. Some slubs but OK in this application.
