Soft and blooms nicely
I love this yarn. I’ve previously made an Ilha sweater by Orlane Suche for my mom in the color Crocus. I’ve just purchased a yarn quantity to hold two strands together and knit the Lucy Cardigan by the Knit Purl Girl. I already love this yarn’s softness and bloom and the color variation. It’s also super lightweight yarn, and paired with its bloom, I get a lot of meterage for the money.

Beautiful yarn
I received the Bio Shetland wool a couple of weeks ago and had time to knit a swatch for the sweater I plan to make. The sweater will be Soft Trails by Carol Feller, a lace and stockinette stitch sweater. The yarn knitted to gauge beautifully and made a lovely soft fabric with just the right amount of drape after wet blocking. Can't wait to get started on the sweater.

Norwegian sweater
I purchased this yarn to use for a Norwegian cardigan sweater. The colors were perfect and it is a lovely yarn to work with. The yarn arrived in a timely manner.
