Valley Yarns Northampton is a workhorse yarn that you'll come back to time and time again. We sourced a soft Peruvian wool and dyed it in a beautiful collection of solid colors and heathered shades. It is a dream to felt and a superb choice for garments, blankets, and accessories especially cabled or colorwork projects! Northampton is beautiful and economical, too.

I love this yarn. I use it for making my hats, blankets, sweaters, and mittens. It is water repellent, wears extremely well, and is soooooo warm! If you hand wash gently, warm water, Woolite or Castille soap, squeeze (not wring) water out and lie flat to dry will last the most of your natural life! Yes, I wear them regularly.
I loved the colors, and I wanted to knit a cardigan with them. It's crazy soft and very easy to work with. Still not done but the colors look amazing!
I like the colors, especially the turquoise and blue shades. You don’t have to wind the yarn.
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.
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 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.
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
