I could knit with this yarn for the rest of my life! Incredibly soft, beautiful texture. In a fairly large shawl, it has a gorgeous drape. Love this yarn!

Comments about Valley Yarns Deerfield:
I knitted a scarf, it is one of my most soft and warm scarf I have, only problem... it rubbed off on my fingers while I was knitting... Not fun at all! ... I had to wash it after with vinegar to "seal" the colour (deep blue!).

Comments about Valley Yarns Deerfield:
I've been searching for a DK yarn for a particular project that will drape. I've seen lots of yarn, and ordered this yarn (along with 1 skein each of two others) and as soon as I felt this one, I knew it was the one. Knit my swatch for gauge, and fell in love with this yarn.

Cons

Best Uses
- Shawl
Comments about Valley Yarns Deerfield:
I knitted up the Summer Flies Shawl with this yar. Though it fuzzes a bit, the soft hand and the nice stitch definition more than compensate it. I will use this again.
Comments about Valley Yarns Deerfield:
I made a small neckwarmer for my Mom from this - she wanted something light, warm, and blue! It was lovely to knit with, no splittiness; soft and warm and lightweight when completed. No color bleed when blocked, either (like other reviewer). I'd love to try a vest from this!
Comments about Valley Yarns Deerfield:
Deerfield in Burgundy colorway is wonderful! Soft, lustrous, no color bleed when soaking. I suggest you make sure you block your swatch, as gauge changed significantly after wet-blocking.
