I'm using it to knit a cardigan for my 2 year old granddaughter. I like that the yarn is washable, and I love the color. The pattern called for DK weight, and I thought this would work.

5 Stars
This yarn is very soft with great stitch definition. Would make lovely cables and other textural stitches. I'm getting about 5.5 stitches to the inch on a #6 needle, unblocked. I would definitely use this inexpensive yarn again!
Lovely soft yarn
I was looking for a nice soft DK weight yarn to make a baby hat, and it was on sale. It is very soft, has no splitting, and has good stitch definition. I'm using it for a hat that is not finished.
5 Stars
It is really great yarn to work with. I have made four sweaters using Haydenville. It is soft, yet sturdy.
Soft and easy to work with
The yarn is very soft and very easy to work with. I am using it for a baby blanket project that is almost complete, but it's not finished yet. It's holding very well, no surprises. I am sure I will use the yarn for my next project.
5 Stars
Lovely soft yarn. Color as advertised. Came in timely fashion. Well pleased and second time I've used for baby blankets.

I have found that prewash yarn sometimes results in a "floppy" character to the item knitted. While this yarn knits up easily and I really like the sage color, I was a bit disappointed that the baby sweater I knitted did not hold its shape as well as I would have liked.
