Full Review

The stitch definition is incredible for complex cable work; every twist stands out beautifully.

A lovely, sturdy wool that feels very authentic and warm, though it has a bit of a 'crunch' to it.

Slightly scratchy for a neck-touching scarf, but perfect for a heavy winter cardigan that will last years.
