Comments about Valley Yarns Sheffield:
I bought it to make a dress and just can't wait to use it. It is the perfect match and less than half the price of the yarn used in the pattern. Thank you for your great selection and great prices!

Comments about Valley Yarns Sheffield:
Yet another great Valley yarn! I can not believe how soft and squishy this yarn is, it almost feels like cashmere but without the huge cut to the wallet. Works up very nicely and the colors are beautiful,

Comments about Valley Yarns Sheffield:
I have not yet finished a project with this yarn but I certainly love just having it around to love on and pet. The colors are rich. I have started with it a couple of times and have ripped out but only due to the pattern and not the yarn. The yarn feels so good I don't mind spending extra time with it. After the innitial feel I experienced I knew staight way that i wanted to go ahead and order more so I did. Now I want to make sure I use it on a very useful project so such a great feel and look will not go to waste.

Comments about Valley Yarns Sheffield:
I chose Valley Sheffield because if its angora content. I wanted a soft yarn with some halo. Sheffield is very soft, but not limp, and does indeed have a lovely halo. It's wonderful against the skin -- a great choice for cowls or scarves. I'll make several projects with Sheffield.

Comments about Valley Yarns Sheffield:
I love this yarn, it's super soft and really nice to knit with, but there's been a knot or two in every skein of yarn - and I'm knitting a sweater, so that's 5 skeins so far that I've had to pull apart and re-join. I hate coming across them and the skein that had two knots in it, I opted not to use (yet) - if I have a small section or am desperate at the end, I might, but I like to have as few joins as possible....I still have to give it high stars, it's wonderful...but it runs short of 5 because of the knots.
