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.

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!
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.

It is really great yarn to work with. I have made four sweaters using Haydenville. It is soft, yet sturdy.

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.

Lovely soft yarn. Easy to work with. Well pleased with purchase and delivery time.
I love how soft the yarn is. I'm using it for making a mosaic afghan.
