Bare Naked Wools

Love this lacy knit - chose it as my first Barn Box pattern. Once I worked out how to K4tog (use smaller needles for that stitch) it was plain sailing and a great outcome.

Purchased this wool in person at Maryland Sheep & Wool in May of this year. Waited to let the right pattern find it-- made a swatch in October. It's so lively and springy to knit and I'm just stunned by the depth of the color and the softness and bloom of the yarn and how it fills out after blocking in warm water. I purchased the Apilado color and it's this lovely shift between gray and brown that's so beautiful.

Bought this pattern to knit for my first grandson.

The hanks wound beautifully with no tangles or knots. I have not yet started my sweater, but just from swatching I already know that this yarn is going to be a pleasure to work with. Another bonus is that there is very little straw in strands, which is not always the case with "raw" yarn.

I was so glad to see buttons on your website - buttons are surprisingly hard to find where I live. These are the perfect additions to my sweater.

this is knitted with Blues Singer Billy Holliday. They are the perfect button for this pattern and yarn.

Thus far, all seems well organized. I’m looking forward to the retreat.

You should give this a try! it is really fun to receive new wool blends. the "extras" are great as well! <3

This subscription has everything I love: Gorgeous yarn, female-owned small business, great community, and (My favorite part!) a venue to learn more about it all. I enjoy the Wool School as much as the yarn. Anne imparts some incredibly interesting details about both the manufacture and the culture of the yarn. I am a crocheter and only just barely learning to knit, but between the knowledge and the yarn, I'm hooked ;-)

Feeling this yarn... it is scrumptious and gets me excited to start my shawl. Winding balls tomorrow!

Balling this up tomorrow and can hardly wait to get started. Springy and lovely!

I admit to not having knit with the three barn boxes I've received, but I'm still in the gazing and fondling stages. I'm not sure what I'll make with each yarn, but I LOVELOVELOVE each of them. Beautiful, lustrous, and for me, luxury yarns. I've started to explore patterns, but I may also make gifts of the skeins to friends. Right now, they sit on my table in my studio and I am just loving them.

The Wensleydale DK yarn is lovely and I am excited to try it out on the Hillock hat pattern.

Well explained and clear writing. A pleasure to read and apply to my stitching. cleared up a couple of techniques for me
Thanks

Excellent, helpful information on lace knitting, and I highly recommend it.
