The natural brown has a slightly heathered look - it is absolutely gorgeous! The yarn feels very soft in the skein even before washing out the spinning oils, and it has a soft sheepy smell that I just love. Did I say that the color is AMAZING?!?
Shipping and customer service were fast and perfect, as always
Gorgeous yarn!
And I cannot say enough good things about the yarn and fiber quality, shipping, customer service, and the pleasure of buying a lovely product that is also fair trade and good for the producers.
Thank you again for the continued support and kind words Joan, it means a lot!
These are the softest wool socks I've ever had. I bought a pair several years ago. They're still going strong. This year I bought a pair for myself and everyone in my family.
Thank you Merrie, hope everybody has warm dry and comfy feet!
This is a roughly textured yarn, not at all like cashmere. I will use it for something, but I’m overall very disappointed in my purchase.
Sorry to hear you're not happy with it! I wonder if it's possible the cobalt sheep wool got sent out instead, but that's not a 'rough' yarn either. Either way, I sent you an email so we can get it worked out.
Just got done knitting a hoodie and it's just so so soft and warm! The knitting process was a dream, too. Totally love this yarn. Making a cardigan for my mom next in a different color.
That's great to hear, glad that you're happy with the yarn and how it knits up!
I made a lovely hat with this yarn. The color is beautiful and bright - it makes me smile! This yarn is also so incredibly soft. I was quite surprised to see someone say it wasn't in their review, and I wonder if they did not wash the yarn first to remove the spinning oils. I cannot stress enough how important that step is. It is so soft and squishy once it's properly washed. I wish I could have gotten my hands on some of the smaller weight yarns in this color to make some sweaters for my daughter and me.
The hat looks great, I'm happy you liked the yarn! It was a popular color, so it's not impossible we do another batch of it soon.
The color is really nice, and the yarn is nice and soft. Purple is my mother's favorite color so I plan to make something for her with this. Make sure to follow the wash instructions for removing the spinning oils to bring out the softness of this gorgeous yarn!
Thank you again Lisa, glad to hear you like the color
The color is so lovely in person. I have not worked with this yet, but I have worked with the Bulky Cashmere that was incredibly soft after following the washing instructions to remove the spinning oils. Since this is a DK weight yarn, it will be less firm due to less bulk and will likely be even softer once washed.
Yes the DK is a great middle ground. The washing is like magic when it fuzzes up a bit, I hope you find the right project for it!
These socks are so incredibly soft and warm. I also love how my feet do not overheat in these socks and thus don't get sweaty. I will definitely be buying more for the family and also plan to get some as stocking stuffers when Christmas rolls around.
Nothing quite like a pure wool sock. Happy you like them! We're going to do another batch for this winter!
Natural color 100% cashmere yarn — beautiful soft gray color! Nice even twist, not too tight and not loose — just right. Buy some, you’ll be very happy too!
Awesome, great to hear you like it. I hope you enjoy knitting it up!
Wife loves the mittens and socks. recommended
Happy to hear they were a hit, thank you!
The yarn has a good feel with the 15%cashmere. I really appreciate the online help and am not sure what I will make yet.
Thank you Ann, I hope you find the right project for it. Always the hardest part!
Very soft and warm. Will order more next year.
wow they turned out great, thank you for sharing!
DH is very picky and I wasn't sure about these but after 1 wearing - he asked if I could get some more!
Thank you, I'm glad they passed the test! They'll definitely be in stock for a while more and then we're going to make another batch next season, so grab all you'd like!
I haven't used this yarn yet. I really like the color and have good feelings about it.
Happy to hear you like the color and feel so far! I hope you enjoy knitting it up
This yarn is fabulous for stranded colorwork! It's soft, it's fluffy, the color is saturated and beautiful. The stitches fill in nicely and no strands show through. I'm making a tubular cowl, so will effectively have 4 layers of fiber, and it's going to be warm and wonderful!
(the other two colors are Deep Harbor Blue and Gold, also on baby camel)
I saw this on ravelry too, the colors look awesome together. Thank you for sharing!
I love this yarn so much! It is so soft and beautiful, it just makes me happy to knit with it!
Glad to hear you are enjoying it, thank you for the review!
I just love this color!
Thank you Julie!
I started to knit the sweater with it and like it so far. Also, I liked the communication with Jon at ula-lia, how fast and efficiently he responded.
Thank you Vera! Looks great so far, hopefully you'll still have some cold weather by the time it finishes up!
I haven’t picked a project yet but I am very happy with the yarn. The color is gorgeous!
Thank you Julie! Just a heads up, if you use the cobalt and white together I'd reccomend a prewash of the cobalt to make sure things don't bleed together, but if you use them separately of course you're all good. Thank you again!
I bought this for a sweater - don't know which one yet, still looking. The color is so rich and beautiful - and the yarn is so soft. I've used baby camel from elsewhere before and I love working with that fiber. This yarn is actually better feeling than what I've used in the past. Can't recommend it highly enough!
Thank you, I'm happy you like the fiber! I think the baby camel wool might be one of the best kept secrets in exotic fibers.
Though I haven't worked with this yarn yet, it is beautiful in the skein! Very soft even before washing, and the natural color is gorgeous. Shipping was fast. I can't wait to get it on my needles!
Thank you Lori! Glad everything got out to you quickly as well
