Full Review
The 400g balls are a lifesaver for large cardigans; I only needed two balls and had very few ends to weave in.
Surprisingly soft for a budget blend, it doesn't have that 'scratchy' feel some acrylic-wool mixes possess.
Stands up incredibly well to the washing machine, making it my go-to for children's winter coats.
