I'm really liking the way this yarn knits up and the patterning (thank you to the people who put photos up to show me what to expect). I'm already looking forward to new socks. The next step will be to happily upload my first photo to the site when I'm finished my first pair of socks with this yarn to show my own work to everyone else.

I'm new to Hobbii. I purchased Mayflower #4. I crocheted a winter hat using a Worsted pattern. I doubled the strands to accommodate the pattern. All I can say is wow!! It worked up very nicely and so very soft. I don't usually use wool blends but the quality of this yarn is outstanding. Super easy to work with too.

I’m a newer knitter so I’m still figuring out gauge. When I worked my sock in the green Mars on a US2 it turned out great! The yarn does tend to split a little, but that wouldn’t keep me from choosing this yarn again. It’s springy and soft. Not sure about warmth yet, but I have high hopes!

I was pleasantly surprised with this yarn. I thought from the picture it might feel a little rough, but it was really soft. I used two skeins to knit a pair of socks and they turned out great! Will definitely be buying more colors once they're back in stock.

Gorgeous!! I didn't think I'd like this color, but Wow!! The yarn is soft and durable (even better after first washing),, and a great price! I've got to get some more of this!
