Just started a sweater with this yarn. So far so good. It's soft and easy to work with and the colour is beautiful.

Great product, just one drawback in that it tends to split easily while being worked and then it's more difficult to count stitches. Other than that, a lovely yarn and the colour very pleasing.

Mallard is a very rich deep colour. Very soft and easy to work with. I'm half way through my project and pleased with the yarn working to gauge.
I highly recommend it for projects requiring chunky yarn.
