King Cole Yummy Chunky Supersoft Knitting Yarn 100g Mint 2221

I am new to knitting, but this isn’t what I expected and wonder why it is called yarn? It is more like thread with fuzzy stuff around it. I bought it to sew together knitted squares. First, I noticed that the fuzzy coating came away as I weaved the “yarn” between rows of stitches. Then, as I tightened the “yarn”, it looked awful. So, I pulled it out to separate the squares, assuming I had done something wrong, and the yarn literally fell apart and I could see the two ply thread in the core. Maybe this is normal and I missed something in the description and don’t know enough about what I am buying? But, I have three other “chunky” yarns and none of them look or behave like this stuff.

Very good quality wool. First time I bought it came packaged as normal wool. Second time I bought it, it arrived and I thought damaged as looked flat and melted...but when I cut open the pack it all fluffed up! Had been vacuum packed ...all perfect though !

Colour is no where near as vibrant as I thought it would be, very much pastel purple etc, actually looks brighter in the attached photo than it is, but I stil loooooooove this wool, lovely and soft (just as, if not softer than the James c brett flutterbye) and lovely different choices in colour! Will definitely be buying again!

Bits of fluff came off when I was knitting with it. It wasn’t easy to use to sew the garment together. Nightmare for sewing buttons on. I used it to make a sleep sack and hat. The new mum loved it that much she wants a jacket and hat made in this yarn

Used this wool to make rainbow of unity. Lovely soft yarn and the colours are so vibrant

Love love love this gorgeous wool.

I used it to knit cuddly toys. It was ideal.

Would definitely buy again and make a lovely pattern for a baby blanket for maternity wards at hospitals
