golo Gradient Wool Yarn for Hand Knitting Self-Striping Variegated Wool Yarn 6008

I enjoyed working with this yarn! This project came out beautifully and will be purchasing more yarn in different colors to make more items. It is very soft and easy to work up, however it can become knotted if you need to undo or made mistake in stitch. Very important...hand wash only

The important bit: I thought I’d use this yarn for socks. Nope. No stretch, and it’s really close to a lace weight. I put some comparison yarns in there so you can see just how slender it is. The other variegated is an independent sock yarn which I’d say is right on for fingering weight, and the black is a Knitpicks Hawthorn, which is a little large for a fingering weight. Also, the yarn is single ply, which means that I had some trouble with splitting until I got used to it, but not at all once I was comfortable working with it. I’m so glad that I stuck with it. It’s a beautiful, soft yarn. I wish I had made a shawl or even a summer knitted T-shirt/ light sweater with it. I wanted to try fingerless gloves, and it worked well for that too. It takes a rib well—either 1x1 on the cuff or 2x2 on the fingers. That said, I don’t think it would stretch well for socks or hold up to foot abuse. But a summer shawl—I think I’m going to come back for more and try it.

Tangles incredibly easily and is not able to be taken apart once worked into a project because the yarn grips itself and locks itself into place. The yarn is incredibly soft to work with and while it doesn't look like it, in the photo, there is a slight fuzziness to the yarn and it is this that makes it impossible to untangle or undo your work because of how fragile the yarn is.

I bought this to knit socks. The color is nice, the knit is soft but the yarn is splitting and requires careful attention.

I'm very pleased with this yarn. The colors are even better than in the photo. Be aware that it is a very fine gauge yarn - I'm using it for a lace knit shawl pattern that can be made with CYC 0, 1 or 2 weight; lace, fingering or sport. It's very soft and I haven't (yet) encountered knots.

What junk! Typical Chinese junk! I used the bleach test to see if in fact there’s any wool in this - NONE. And the color is off.

The yarn is ok. It wasn't what I was needing or looking for. I picked the wrong yarn. I will be using it one day.

Much thinner than you might think but it's very nice quality and the color gradient is so pretty and gradual

Colour not as expected, the colour on the screen is much light and brighter than what actually arrives. Balls are much darker in all of the shades within each ball

La couleur est superbe et j'ai assez de laine pour mon projet. Par contre le fil est très fin, il casse facilement et la pelotte était pleine de noeuds.

Yarn is thinner than I thought it would be… Fingering/sock weight
