Nice patterned yarn.
Very soft and easy to work with yarn.

Love this colour!
Easy to knit with, colour shading is beautiful. It was recommended as an alternative for the yarn suggested in my pattern. Would definitely buy this yarn again.
-
lots of knots
Knit up beautifully and with a cozy lofty texture, however the number of knots was annoying. Purchased 10 balls and 5 had at least one knot. One ball had three knots.

Works up fast and beautiful.
I found it easy to work with. Would buy it again.

Patons Shetland Bulky
Have used this product several times to make Shetland Style sweaters. Have always been pleased with this product.

Too many knots
I really like the yarn & the colours are lovely. However out of the 8 balls I bought there wasn't one without at least one knot tied in the yarn. One ball had 3 tied in it in just the first 2 inches of my kntting. I expect this in poorer quality yarn but am disappointed to find it in Patons
