CONS

Rustic

Size medium - not for Big projekts

Show more cons

I'm not real tall and could have used more holes on the strap for when I wear it.

Yarn snags on zips

slight opening at the top

A little pricey.

Tiny cover lettering.

Would be perfect if lined

thin rope drawstring closure and leather strap

A bit scritchier than I was expecting

The gift box is a bit flimsy.

Long shipping time

nothing to keep it rolled up

Upper edge has to be folded back while working (as shown) because of the metal zip.

Ciparosseuser

not big enough for crochet hook

olive green is brilliant

I little too much variation in colour for me

it pools a little

but overall so beautiful

I little too much variation in colour for me

but overall so beautiful

No longer available.

yarn tends to catch a bit on my circus

not as stretchy as all wool.

No nose wire.

I haven’t given 5 stars as I was given replacement needles rather than the knit pro ones as described. I have other knit pro needles and find the ones I was given not as nice to knit with especially because they don’t have pointy ends!

Bit stiff at first

Nope. Too many gorgeous colours to choose from?

You want more of it?

None.

Pricey but worth it

None

none

I think there is no Ravelry code

I hate the dark brown pages with the small black writing like the abbreviations page as I can't read it in most lights. The page is to dark for the size and closeness of lettering to read easily

None

Very tightly spun

not tried yet

None

I want to knit them all!

Tendency to break but very easy to join with wet splicing. Just have to not yank the yarn from its plate.

None

No Cons

May need more than one skein for socks

N. A.

Bit pricey for a magazine

Colour of main yarn - pale browny pink is not my palate

I am an autumnal palate person.

with mustard and green small skeins in set absolutely fine.

None

No downsides

colour on gorse not very "clean"

ie. the marled with darker fibre.

None

none so far

Quite advanced for me. Not familiar with some terms. A challenge!

None

Metal tape is not flexible and lack of locking mechanism together make measuring garment fit hard

Quite pricey

none

Strands tend to separate at times

Some packaging non biodegradable

Yarn twists perhaps this is because I'm left handed!!

Can split when you need to rip back

None

Non

None

So lovely I bought more skeins in different colours!

None

A bit expensive

None

small and fairly expensive

Can’t think of any except I now need to replace all my other interchangeables with these!

Not enough time in the day to knit with this beautiful yarn!

Typo on the label

None

I can't choose which one to keep they are all so pretty

Quite pricey but a good product

None

Push up carton a bit fiddly

Needed more magnets along the length of the leather clasp so you can close it tightly with only 2 or 3 leather pages (I’ve got the jumbo size)

No cons

Limited colours

none

Non known

Smell of copper

Very rare item. If you find it grab it

Not widely available in the UK

None

It took a while to get my head around the pattern

but all it needed was me to read the pattern properly

Haven’t fully tested the durability of the tips yet. Think they

Quite expensive for what it is.

Would be good to be able to order contracting yarns

A bit pricey

Bruges

Gauge smaller than stated for me.

Bordeaux

None so far!

None so far

None

Price a little high but as it comes from the US and is quite unique and will last forever it’s worth it.

None

Nothing

Some of the patterns look a bit difficult

None

None so far

Want to buy it all lol

Quite rustic

Need another covering smaller sizes

Quite harsh

because I suppose very woolly ! Slightly duller colours

because of lighting.

None

The listing was really

really confusing and it took m e an age to work out what I was actually going to pay.

Possibly not the softest - avoid if you dislike "scratchy" yarns

They are a luxury product. So expensive (but worth it!!)

Expensive!

Nothing!

Hmm- holds lots of yarn so encourages me to buy more in order to fill it.

Fuzz occasionally mats when tinking/frogging

expensive .
