Patons Classic Wool Yarn, Amaranth

It is getting more and more difficult to get this beautiful Paton's yarn. Mine arrived promptly and in perfect condition.

great to find 100% wool yarn finally!!

Color much more dull and muted.

I like it

Bought it for my mom to make a sweater for my kid. The final product came out really pretty and the quality was super. It's a bit pricey, came out about 35$ for a kid's sweater.Fast forward 6 months, and a couple of cold washes (no dryer at all), it shrank once, then it shrunk again and then another time. A colossal 6inches shorter now that the younger sibling can give it a wear before it turns into a mitten. 😒 very disappointed. This product is such a farce. Stay away folks, wish i had read other reviews before.

pros: not encountered any knots in skein cons: actual color is darker than pictured feels soft not scratchy easy to knit with no problem with splitting good stitch definition

I love this yarn and it’s cheaper than on the website. So hard to find a good wool yarn, usually they mix the wool with something else but this particular yarn is very warm, soft, very good quality

It is one of the few dark red wool yarns that doesn't bleed or fade. It shows an amazing stitch definition. The line of yarns is beginner friendly because it is easy to see the stitches and because it's sturdy enough to handle a lot of ripping and reworking stitches. However, it's harder to see stitches on darker yarn, so this color isn't great for that purpose.It felts perfectly, great for felted joins. I use it obsessively for nalbinding. Naturally this yarn, where a knot in the skein wouldn't be any kind of problem, almost never has a knot in the skein. The downside is, if you put this thing in the machine one time by mistake, whatever the project is, it's coming out doll-sized.It's good for any project that will go through a lot of wear, something like slippers. It's soft enough for that or for a scarf as well.It's a great yarn.
