Wonderful colors and feel.
The colors in the Copper dye are magnificent. The yarn is super soft and has a wonderful drape. I loved it so much I am ordering more to make a sweater. It crochets well, with no knobs or uneven fibers.

Product Description
Bloomsbury DK is a beautiful silky soft DK weight yarn, spun from the softest merino wool. This hand-dyed yarn is perfect for knitting cosy sweaters and scarves and will knit to any DK weight pattern. Bloomsbury has a wonderfully soft handle that is luxuriously gentle on the skin, and suitable for all types of knitting and crochet. The final spun thread has been plied together with just enough twist to prevent pilling but to allow the fabric to softly drape.
The 10 launch colours have been personally designed by Irish designer Carol Feller. Known for designing knitwear that is well shaped, flattering to wear and enjoyable to knit Carol likes to work with different construction methods, so long as they enhance the knitting experience. Carol has divided the palette into three sets of colours that work well together and enhance each other: Blues, Fall and Fuchsia.

I took a chance on this yarn since I had never purchased this brand before, but I’m very glad I did. It’s excellent! So soft, I double checked the label, because it felt too unbelievably soft to be pure wool, but it is. The color is just as depicted, and if they had had more in stock, I would have purchased enough to make a second sweater. Although soft, it still knits up reliably - no splitting and it is very consistent in weight throughout the skein. I’m keeping an eye out for more.
Wonderful yarn to work with.
I love the beautiful color and incredible softness to work with. I already finished a hat. The finished product is every bit as lovely as the yarn.
Beautiful colors and softness
The Yarn Collective Bloomsbury DK Yarn has a beautiful blend of colors, silky soft not itchy Merino wool. I will make a beautiful cabled cardigan. Yes, very well.
Beautiful yarn with disappointing color variation
The yarn is absolutely beautiful and has a wonderful hand. Even within the exact same dye lot, the colors vary greatly. Unfortunately, I discovered this far too late in my first project and had to undo hours of work to fix it. That was extremely disappointing. I made an expanded Sophie Scarf that had 244 even rows in the center section. I had to frog it and rework it using a different yarn every two rows. Very unpleasant. It was fine, yes.
Dear Kate, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you love the yarn and its feel, though we're sorry the color variation caused some difficulties with your project. As this is a hand-dyed yarn, some variation in color is a natural part of the dyeing process. Alternating skeins every couple of rows can help blend these differences and create a more consistent look. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

This yarn is gorgeous. The color is beautiful and it’s a pleasure to crochet with it - no splitting, broken or tangled yarn. I used it to make a throw (about 42” x 45”). Because it’s hand dyed and the color isn’t exactly the same throughout I stranded the yarn alternating 2 rows of one skein and then 2 rows of another.

I have quite a few of these yarns. They are all smooth, strong, and very subtle dyed. In a project they seem to take up more room on a needle that their doneness would permit, which is a good thing in my mind!

This yarn is gorgeous in every way. The color is stunning and it’s a pleasure to work with. Feels great doesn’t split. Love it!
