Love it!

As a beginner knitter, my first project was a scarf and I chose this yarn to make it with. I used color "9588". I loved this yarn bc even when I slipped stitches, the stitches didn't automatically slip out of any other stitches! I love that it gave me some room to make mistakes without causing a catastrophic result. It was nice feel and thickness as well, I was able to keep relatively even tension throughout my garment(: I would purchase again

Not so soft as its name

I enjoyed working with the Donegal. But, it is thicker than usual worsted, dries out my hands (they've really cleaned out the lanolin), And it knits up a bit stiffer than what other worsted yarns do. The Lettlopi is a bit softer than the Donegal. But nothing matches the rustic country Irish look like this wool!
