Photos do not do it justice
I was lucky enough to make it in store to purchase this, and I'm so glad I did. Photos cannot possibly do the dimensionality of this yarn justice. It's round and bouncy; a true delight to work with! I'm looking forward to using it again for my bulky weight needs!

Wonderful!
This yarn is very nice. I’m a rustic yarn kinda girl and this is exactly that. It knits up quickly and softens really nice when blocked!

Perfect for winter knits
Love the colors and texture of Erin. I’m knitting the Daingean Pullover by Kate Osborn, co-owner of Kelbourne Woolens. The pattern is featured in Farm & Fiber Knits, 2024. The knitted fabric is substantial and holds it’s shape. Erin feels like it has a high bulk to weight ratio, so the knitted sweater is not overly heavy, but it will be very warm.
