Great wool to work with
The wool is great to work with and it has been for years. I like the natural colour.

Heritage from Briggs and Little
I am a newbie so I don't have much experience but I have enjoyed working with the Heritage. I used the Saltwater Classics book and made the Moose Cap...love it!

suited my need
I purchased one skein because I needed to match something I already had. It worked beautifully.

Best Canadian Yarn
I love Briggs and Little yarn. Their quality yarns allow me to create wonderful hand knit garments while promoting and supporting a Canadian Mill and wool producers

Great Yarn
The yarn is sturdy and very reasonably priced. I am so happy Yarn Canada supports the sale of local yarns. My only criticism would be for the color to be more stable between dye lots as this batch was quite a bit whiter than my last year's purchase that was more yellow (thus hard to match it up to finish my project). This works great for Aran sweaters and also as a yarn for natural dyes.

Great for cables!
This yarn isn't the softest, but it knits up very nicely and creates a lovely, traditional knitted fabric. Great for aran sweaters and cable work. Plus it's affordable.

Buying Canadian
Love this wool,so affordable. Nice colors and I love it for rughooking.So happy that the cost is easy on a budget ad that it’s Canadian!

My number one choice in yarn.
This wool is a pleasure to knit with. I've knit almost two dozen items with it, and it is now my first choice for mitts, toques, socks, and wool sweaters. And if buying Canadian is important to you, this wool comes from a family run wool mill in New Brunswick.
