First things first - the quality of the yarn is amazing. It knits well without splitting and once washed, it's very soft. BUT - while one skein of my "Inverness" purchase was nicely colored, with lots of green and different lighter blues interspersed, the second skein (which I had to start in the middle of the back of my son's sweater) is almost completely darkest navy with tiny little specks of the other colors. While I expected small differences, this is a drastic change that show so much that even my husband asked why I'm using a different yarn now. I am not amused, especially given the price. Is there even such a thing as quality control for this yarn? It doesn't appear to be so. I already had two other colors in my shopping basket, but after this experience, I'm not going to buy them. Very disappointed.

I ordered the "Pearlesent"thinking it would add some nice variation to a bland white or cream color (based on the desription). The hank I'm working with looks like a cream washcloth that has been dragged through the mud with stains that won't come out. Exactly opposite I how I envision a pearl. looks like dirt. love you knit picks, but this one was dirt...

I ordered this yarn in the Blue Violet colorway, it is absolutely gorgeous! So soft,and squishy! Thank you Knit picks for supplying such beautiful and high quality yarn too Knitters everywhere!

This yarn is not the same quality I have been accustomed to in the past!! Colors great. But yarn is very fuzzy as it is being knit and has a tendency to split. Will not purchase again. I do like Hawthorne for socks but wish it had more yardage.

I have been buying the sock yarn troll and the last batch was disappointing ,it was very thin in spots and a lot of breaks ,,,but I still love the colours
