Love this yarn
Many years ago Shetland Chunky was my favourite yarn to use. I made fair isle sweaters and socks. Shetland Ragg was a favourite sock yarn. My son needed some new socks so I went back to SC. I love the feel when you knit with it and the fact it has wool will last a long time. I bought extra and will be making some mitts and more socks!

Feels great
This wool is very soft and knits up beautifully. Just what I was looking for. Will use again in the future.

Caron Simply Soft
This is a very nice yarn to work with. I've used it several times in the past but this is the first skein that has had a join in it. It actually had 2 joins about 2 metres apart. The finished garment looks very nice.

Excellent
I ran out of yarn making a sweater. I went back to the shop I got the yarn from and they no longer stocked it. I was so thrilled I could order it online and it matched perfectly! Showed up in 2 days! Love it.
