Great for felting projects
It felted so easily. I'm using it for men's and women's hats and a felted lamb. I used it for one session in the washer. I only used it on my phone.

This is a great yarn to work with for a bulky knit project! The touch of alpaca gives it extra softness. The color is vibrant and satisfying. The final product will make a wonderful "hoodie" for my granddaughter! I'll definitely try "Valley Yarns" again ... in other weights and colors!!!
Smooth texture, color consistent throughout with a slight sheen, and has a silky appearance. Tremendous warmth and insulation with a soft drape and texture that makes you want to feel next to your skin..
I had ordered this yarn previously to make a big blanket which I finally finished a year later. I loved it so much, I ordered more to start another one since the first blanket has been such a hit in my family (especially my dog). Things to note: -The colors read a little darker in real life compared to the swatch pictures, so plan accordingly. -The yarn itself is quite fluffy, so if you’re someone who doesn’t like a lot of loose fuzziness in a project you might not like this particular yarn....
Nice to knit with and felted well in the washing machine though I had to do two washes. Bulky enough so that even single stranded, projects are quick.
Am currently working on a v neck pullover and finding the yarn soft and easy to work with. It does tend to split sometimes, however, but I'm able to get nice stitches with it.
Berkshire Bulky is fantastic to work with. Very soft and warm. I have made two knit hats for my husband and the yarn knit up well. I will use it again.
I love this yarn and so far it is a good substitute for lopi. I am hoping it doesn’t pill to much on the front of the sweaters. Shipping was fast but a tracking ability of the package would be a very nice added feature. I will be back Webs!
I love this yarn! It's soft, squishy and thick. I don't usually attempt stranded knitting with a bulky yarn but I love the sweater I made with it.
Lovely to work with. Felted after two washes in the machine. Nice structure. Was able to sew on handles easily after felting.
