5 out of 5 stars Love it! 05/04/2007
Reviewer: Rhonda Smart   (2) from Long Beach, CA US
I bought this yarn as a kit to make Sally Melville's Knitting Bag Jacket. Her instructions were a little short, and I was able to get a few more balls in the colors I needed, and I wear this sweater at least once a week. I think I may need to make another in case this one wears out! I am a bit sensitive to wool, but I wear this sweater over a t-shirt all the time and have no problems. I can't wait to get some more for another project.

5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite yarn! 03/05/2006
Reviewer: Jennifer Puckett   (2) from Harrisburg, PA US
This yarn comes in many beautiful shades, is lightweight yet warm, knits up beautifully, and is reasonably priced. So far I have used it to make several hats and some mittens, and am currently knitting a fair isle/intarsia method sweater for myself using this yarn. I plan on knitting most of my Christmas sweaters using Jamieson's Shetland DK (except for those whose pattern requires Jamieson's Soft Shetland). You will definitely want to block your items knitted with this yarn, as the previous reviewer suggested; after blocking the yarn just blossoms, becoming softer and fluffier. I can't say enough good things about this yarn!

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Shetland 11/30/2005
Reviewer: A viewer   from West Orange, NJ US
I bought this to make a shawl from the Jamieson Book #3, the Little Leaves shawl. I wanted it in a slightly larger gauge than called for in the book. I'm very pleased with the warmth, and my family thinks it looks gorgeous too. Definitely block this wool so it will become softer and fill out! I did, and pinned it to a blocking board, so the lace pattern shows very nicely.
