CALVES 100% Merino Wool Yarn, 6-Ply Luxurious and Soft Yarn for Hand Knitting & Crocheting, 1.76 OZ/50g, 153 yds/140 Meters

I love this yarn. I can be a bit of a textile person and not only is this yarn very pretty, it is relaxing and soothing to use as it feels soft and glides across the needles.

The weight of this merino wool yarn was as expected, but I ordered orange yarn to make a pumpkin beanie for my niece, and what I got was mustard yellow. Sent it back right away and had to order from another manufacturer. If anyone else runs into this, the orange yarn from Estako (also available on Amazon) is the perfect color for a little pumpkin hat!

This yarn is super soft and perfect for delicate knitting and crocheting projects!

The light green I ordered is stunning. The dye lot on this is very well done. Also well constructed. Very little shagging/fraying in the strand. Price is steep, considering you really don't receive very much product per bundle. Knitters should know that this yarn is also much thinner than typical yarns and may not be suitable for many projects and knit patterns. This is better suited for small, delicate projects with tighter stitches.

This is lovely soft merino yarn, and at a good price for merino. I haven't knit it yet, but it appears not likely to pill based on my trying to create some friction with my fingers, so it appears to be a decent quality.This is "6-ply" yarn, which isn't a categorization typically used in the US. Looking up a conversion table, that's at the high end of sport weight, confirmed also by looking at 140meters/50g.The suggested needles size for this is off. 4mm needles are US 6, and that's likely too large for this yarn unless you want a very airy fabric. Somewhere in the ballpark of US 3 (3.25mm) is more likely to suit the yarn. (Oh! That's an error in the Amazon listing. The ball itself says 2.75-3mm needles.)I got the Dark Green, which is very dark indeed and almost an "off black". It has a pleasant sheen to it, and in brighter lights, the green is more apparent.My plan is to make a cowl of this. I think it might be a mistake to get sweater quantities of this yarn since it has dye lots (of course), and I don't think Amazon has any process to try to match dye lots.I don't see any country of origin on the ball, which is curious.Not superwash merino, so you will probably want to handwash this.Very nice yarn, and I'm glad I got it!

Very soft and a beautiful, creamy color. It just unravels really easily while crocheting.

This is a nice wool yarn, soft and strong with good stitch definition. It's a small quantity, so make sure you order plenty for your project. I don't think one skein will be enough for even a little hat. In sufficient quantities, though, this will make nice sweaters and accessories.It's DK weight, I'd say, knitting up at 5 stitches to the inch for me, though everyone knits differently. I'm using it for a beaded knitting project and you can see from the photo of the swatch that it is up to the challenge.The color is lovely and I found no tangles, splitting, knots, or other flaws. This is the kind of yarn I like to use for all kinds of projects.

I got this yarn for a small part of a rug that I'm currently tufting. This yarn holds up surprisingly well! It's very soft and light, but still reasonably strong. It does tend to unravel somewhat easily unfortunately, but otherwise it's been great to work with. It's a bit on the pricey side, but not bad for nice quality wool yarn. Overall I'm pleased thus far! I've used up most of it thus far and it's been enough for the sections of the rug I need it for.
