This is a good yarn for garments in a DK weight. I’m currently finishing (sleeve island) a cardigan that I’m repeating in a different color because the first is my most worn final product. I’m hoping that the out of stock colors get replaced soon, and perhaps even ( fingers crossed) add some new choices!
I m just beginning my project with this yarn but o far it seems to be producing a nice fabric and is pleasantries use for knitting. The colors re as pictured. The sweater will be beautiful. Unimaginaively, I used the patterns colorway and am thrilled so far.
High quality yarn, comparable with Rowan felted tweed, at a very competitive price.

I am disappointed in the yarn. It breaks easily at a weak spot, and I have started my project over 3 times. Different parts of the yarn have issues.
Worthington compares to a more expensive yarn favorably, both in price and softness. I wish it came in more colors.
I did not realize that the Worthington yarn ( which is alpaca blend) would be scratchy. I hope it softens up with use and isn't scratchy but I suspect I will need to wear a light T shirt under the sweater. I guess I should have done more research before purchasing it. Also, I ran out of yarn and needed to get more acorn color. I was unable to find anymore online. It has never resurfaced on the Webs website so I had to come up with another solution to finishing my project. The fact that I ran...
I like the yarn. It gives good stitch definition, but it breaks easily. I know it will knit into a warm garment for Fall and Winter.
yarn is easy to work with. Picture of the yarn (color) showed additional shades, but the actual yarn is basically the solid color.
This is the first time I have worked with Worthington. So far it is very nice to knit with and will make a lovely sweater!
