I love this yarn for sweaters and shrugs…the Eggplant colour is rich and beautiful.

Good super bulky yarn for a cat bed
I’ve made quite a few aspen blankets with this yarn and they are all lovely. The cats love kneading them and sleeping on them. It’s annoying because it’s hard to put the bulk of the blankets into the wash machine. So I made a cat bed with the same pattern. It looks great and fits into the wash machine no problem. This yarn is one of my favourite acrylic blends. The service from yarn Canada was the best part about getting this yarn. It was quick (which I’ve never experienced with online yarn sales in Canada) and they put a lollipop in my order (it was right after Halloween). It really felt like a personal touch.

Wool-ease good
I have worked with wool ease before, I like how it works up and I have never had a problem.
