Sirdar Hayfield Spirit Chunky, Melody (402), 100g, F257-0402

Beautiful wool, lovely colours, this one was named Casper. I posted a project & went to buy another ball & no next day delivery as sold out. Iv ordered other colours with next day delivery as it’s perfect for winter hats & headbands.

This yarn is STUNNING. Nice and chunky, haven't encountered any splitting or snagging and the colours are just... wow. Texture is perhaps a little coarse if you prefer softer garments, but as I'm using this for a poncho for cold weather it feels like it's going to be perfect with plenty of warmth and a nice weight to it! Totally happy with the price I paid and am not too worried about the overall cost of the project based on this... though I don't know how many I'll end up needing to buy so we'll see! I'm crocheting this project and have been using a standard double crochet stitch and 4mm hook, though I'm still a beginner so that information may or may not be helpful!

Lovely colours. Knits up well as you would expect from Hayfield.

Nice yarn and easy to knit with.

This yarn is great to work with. I'm a beginner and my knitting project was quick to get through. Made a hat for my grandaughter and one for her dolly. Pretty colours.

soft yarn, nice colour blend when made up as a hat to keep my ears warm.

Lovely yarn to crochet with

Nice yarn, but it's hit and miss with how many knots there'll be in each ball. I got 2 of the same balls of yarn. One had 2 knots and the other had 1. I ended up having to deal with 2 knots in a simple scarf. The colour where it joins wasn't the same as the colour of the yarn it was joining to, either. So there's a jaring colour change where the knots are. You could cut the knots out and join the colours properly. But you'll likely end up wasting a lot of yarn. The method of joining isn't great either, so you'll probably want to cut the knots out and join them in a neater fashion, so that you can hide the join a bit better. Quite annoying, but it's otherwise nice to knit with. I agree with the other reviewers who mentioned that it is a smelly yarn, too. Blocking/cleaning is essential. I used a small amount of scented detergent and even sprayed with a small amount of perfume when drying. Seems to have done the trick.
