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.

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!
Charlemont is one of my favorite yarns—so soft and wonderful to work with!
I appreciate the help in finding the yarn and the correct dye lot. I'm using it for a lace leaf sweater for my granddaughter. The pattern is giving me some problems, so I might find another pattern for this yarn.
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...
The yarn splits badly. It is not as easy to work with as I had hoped. The color is lovely. I was knitting a sweater. I will probably switch to a crochet project with the yarn held double.
Gorgeous and soft yarn with a beautiful hint of shine. It’s a dream to knit with. I’m making a lace tank top and the yarn never splits. Will definitely buy again for other projects!
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’ve bought this several times. It’s lovely; silky & drapey & very soft, a delight on the needles as well as off.
