Valley Yarns Northampton Yarn - Wool Worsted

At the moment, I’m wearing a sweater knit from Valley Yarn’s Northampton and I have two more Northampton sweaters on my needles. This sweater is the first thing I put on in the morning. It’s so warm and cozy. There’s quit a bit of pilling at first but after the first few days of wearing a new Northampton garment, a good de-pilling sets it right. If you plan to gift a Northampton garment, be sure to include instructions on de-pilling so the recipient knows how to keep the garment presentable....

I knit this checkered band hat. Yarn is nicely soft and easy to work with.

It’s a sticky hearty yarn. Nice colors. Reliable, good for colorwork

I like the colors, especially the turquoise and blue shades. You don’t have to wind the yarn.

Difficult to place order, poor customer service which took weeks to hear back from and was not helpful. I have never had trouble placing an online order and I couldn’t place it from multiple devices with multiple browsers.

I really like Northampton for its large color range and also it’s affordable. It’s great for items like blankets that will get a lot of use. It’s great for both knit or crochet blankets. It wears well.

I make wool beanies for a living. Quality and price are important. It seemed like a basic wool with a reasonable price. It is a basic plied wool, so I expect it to be durable. It is nice to work with and I have no issues. I like it and will continue to use it as long as it is available. I only chose this yarn because my favorites were no longer available through your website. You are out of stock of all my preferred yarns and no information as to whether you will restock.

I have worked with Northampton before. I'm using it for a blanket for myself. It is nice to work with and washes well. I flat dry it, which is fine.

I love the 100% wool and beautiful colors at a great price! I plan to crochet a blanket.

The Ocean Heather color is just what I was hoping for. Teal is my favorite color. I'm making a shawl cardigan which starts at the back of the neck, and there will be no seams. I haven't started yet. It's a cooler weather project.
