Product Description

Valley Yarns Southwick combines the softness of Pima cotton with the sheen and drape of bamboo fiber to create a silky soft yarn with a fluid drape. A joy to knit or crochet, the feel improves even more once finished and creates flowy tops, shawls, and cowls. Southwick is great for everything from basic to intricate stitches and its lightweight construction is perfect for spring and summer projects!

I love the weight of this yarn. It’s especially good for the climate in Alabama. It knits up beautifully and it feels good. My only complaint is that I haven’t been able to get more of it in Onyx for months. I need a bit more to finish my project. Very frustrating.

the skeins did not have the accurate yardage and measuring 3 different skeins, 1 was 16 yards short one was 9 yards short and one was 6 yards short. On a 105 yard skein this is a lot of yardage. when I complained I got an email but no follow up. I will no be ordering from Webs again. You have been marked as Spam

Great color, easy to knit. But, the bamboo makes it heavy and not very grabby so weaning in ends is hard as they want to unwavering themselves

Colors are lovely but yarn easily splits. Tried various needles but made no difference whether metal or wooden. I used to make mosaic coasters. Glad didn’t use for larger project
