Valley Yarns Granville is a gorgeous blend of Pima cotton and Merino wool that is fantastic for warm-weather garments like t-shirts, tanks and cardigans. Colorwork and textured stitches will shine with Granville, so go bold with a summer weight shawl or make a lacy stole that will steal the night!

Easy to work with, forgiving. Has more characteristics of merino wool than would be expected with a predominantly cotton yarn. Minimal splitting common to mostly cotton yarns. Excellent stitch definition. Some difference in texture found in the 9 crushed velvet and the 13 mineral green color with the former slightly smoother than the later.
Valley Yarns Granville was simply a pleasure to knit with, and the pullover sweater I made turned out beautifully. After being washed in cold water, then dryer dried on delicates, the sweater came out wrinkle free with no shrinkage. Cotton yarn usually hurts my hands, so seldom knit with it; however, Granville's 90% Pima Cotton/10% wool didn't bother my hands at all. I ordered more for another sweater to knit this coming winter. I can enthusiatically recommend it.
It's more of a DK than sport weight; even the pattern, Canyonlands, which specifies this yarn, gives the gauge at 5.5 stitches per inch. The yarn has a soft feel and a bit of shine, which I like. It's a little splitty but not too bad. On my screen, the coral color looks more orange, but the yarn is a true coral color.
Very pretty yarn
These are great yarns.
Have been buying yarn from them a long time . Have always had a good experience

Lovely yarn - blend of cotton with 10%wool is soft and drapes beautifully. Great to work with.
I am knitting a baby jacket with this and it is simply beautiful. Care must be taken to avoid the plies from splitting when knitting but it is wonderfully soft to go against baby skin.
