Quality comments:
A good basic yarn, the oldest handknit sweaters ( 16 years) I have were made with this yarn. My two DD are now wearing them with a bit of modification. Some pilling after long wear, but sweaters have held shape and color.

Any classic pattern would look good in this yarn. I made pullovers with circular yokes using this yarn This yarn has a nice feel and knits up well. I beleive this yarn has been discontinued -I bought a bag of French Vanilla Twed from Arlene ( Quanah for Yarn)

Quality comments:
Excellent wool, no knots or unevenness, felts beautifully. Color range is extensive. Takes steam blocking well. Can be knit on bulky knitting machine, including ribbing.

This is a good general purpose worsted weight yarn. I've made sweaters, socks, felted boots, and other garments.
