Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton Sport:
Wonderful staple yarn to always have on hand in your stash.
Great wool feel and smell, fun and easy to work with. I love that it has a bit of an extra twist in its plying structure - that makes it so effortless to work with (no splitting) and shows off stitches beautifully.
It's soft but by no means Merino-soft - but that's ok, I like this down-to-earth-wool feel.
I personally like to use it for making patchwork pieces (granny squares) and crochet them together to create warm blankets. Absolutely loved in my family!
Though I probably wouldn't wear it right on my neck, this yarn would also make great jackets or layering sweaters.
Will always be back for more!

Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton Sport:
Versatile and well-priced 100% wool sportweight yarn. I am using 3 colors of it and am enjoying working with it. Soft but not limp, a good hand, great for stranded colorwork, stripes, and textured patterns. Would love to see more colors of this!
Comments about Valley Yarns Northampton Sport:
I ordered 2 skeins(different colors) of this yarn for a color work hat. One skein was thicker than the other.
