works fine for needle punching
This yarn works well with other bulky yarns in the needle punching project I'm currently working on. I double it to have the same heft as some of my really bulky yarns. I specifically wanted yarns with at least 25% wool content, and this fits my requirement.

Lovely Toque
Loved this yarn for the toque I just knitted. Soft and knitted up quickly.
