I'm using it for a blanket in crochet using the waffle stitch and added a border in a fan stitch. The yarn looks great and was easy to work with. The Fog color coordinates well with our blue grey furniture. I just finished it last night, so I haven’t washed it yet.

Customer Reviews
Versatile yarn for many projects
I loved the combination of soft natural wool with acrylic for making blankets. I made several blankets with different sizes, including Norah’s Vintage Afghan. The yarn was excellent to work with.
5 Stars
Love the feel and color. Knits like a dream. Stitch definition superb. Finished item is soft and holds its shape well. Only complaint is the tangles I created when rolling the skein into a ball the old fashioned way — by hand.
Soft and machine washable yarn
I like that it is soft and it is machine washable. I have only started to work on it. It is my group knit along project. It does split fairly well.
I'm using it to make mittens and hats for my grandchildren. I’ve lost count how many pairs I’ve made. It’s easy to use, doesn’t split, and isn’t itchy for them to wear. As far as I know, it washes well and holds its shape.
Love this yarn for cardigans
I love the Berroco Ultra Wool Yarn! I’ve used it before and just love it. It has great colors and non-itchy wool. I use it for two cardigan sweaters. I’ve worn one several times, the other is just about done and still on the needles. I haven’t washed the first one yet except for its first blocking. Superwash tends to hold up better to repeated wearing and doesn’t pill as much.

This is the 3rd jumper (pullover sweater) that I have knit using Ultra Wool and it definitely won't be my last. Honestly, it doesn't feel like much in the skein, but it is forgiving to knit with, incredibly versatile as far as gauge, and - once washed and blocked - it softens and takes on a delicious softness. The range of colours makes it a great choice for colourwork and the heathers look like "the expensive stuff" when worked with allover ribbing, cables &/or lace. I will continue to use it...

This yarn is a joy to work with. I bought it to make a baby shower gift as the parents-to-be wanted only natural fibers and this fit the bill perfectly. Will definitely buy it again! Anne

Only the top of top quality from WEBS! It’s good to know the difference between cheap and luxury yarns, and WEBS is my go-to source for the best in brand, color selection, fiber and weight options.

Soft but substantial and easy to handle and work with. I'm using this yard for both a sweater and hats and I'm very happy with it.
