Valley Yarns Charlemont Yarn - Superwash Merino 4 Ply

I love this yarn. It’s luxuriously silky soft. It’s feels wonderful in hand while knitting and makes the coziest, softest garments and accessories. I recently completed the Calliope sweater using the Light Grey Charlemont held with mohair. It was like holding a kitten in my hands while knitting. I enjoyed it so much I was sad when the project was complete (despite really wanting and loving the finished sweater!). I immediately ordered more Charlemont so I can start another project with this...

Expected good, received excellent. Holy mother of softness.... will find out how it holds up, but so far I'm loving. True color with no bleeding, fantastic stitch definition (seriously great, not just super soft yarn great) and I don't want to put it down.

I have used this yarn before, and this shipment did not disappoint. The yarn feels good in the hand while knitting and makes lovely hats and scarves, with the silk adding a nice sheen.

Super soft. Cloud like. Knits like a dream, and so far is great with color work!

I bought navy and burgundy. After I finished the piece, I wet blocked. The burgundy color bled in the water, and fortunately the navy yarn didn’t pick up the red. The red is not colorfast. Also, the yarn is split prone….i had to carefully knit to ensure all strands were included in each stitch.

The yarn is so slippery that it was difficult to wind into a ball. Also, it splits quite readily. It did, however, knit into a very soft fabric. Also, I’ve ordered a lot of yarn from WEBS, and this is the only yarn that was disappointing.

Charlemont is my new favorite. Tell the mill to make a variegated collection or a hand dyed one and you'll be in business forever!

So soft!! A little bit splitty, but not unbearable. Definitely recommended!

The yarn gets tangled and pills easily. It is also a lot more coarse to touch than anticipated.

I love the color and the worsted weight of this yarn. It’s a rose/pink, but I haven’t started a project with it yet. I’ve been building up my stash.
