Very soft, and beautiful to work with. Yes, this yarn has been discontinued, but the two colours we have remaining are amazing.
This is a DK-weight yarn and would be wonderful for items close to skin. Each 50 grams balls is 125 meters/ 136 yards. 2 to 3 balls would make a cozy beanie (hat). 1 ball could make a pair of fingerless mittens. So many possibilities.

The Wool Pirate offered a yarn I had been eyeing for a much more reasonable price than I had seen at my regular LYS. I will definitely shop here again!
Beautiful yarn. Super knowledgeable shop owner. My favourite LYS!
Cindy makes everyone feel special. Her orders are beautifully wrapped, accurate, and delivered very quickly. I highly recommend her service.
The Wool Pirate experience was amazing. The website is user-friendly and the order was processed quickly. Cindy is super friendly and helpful and made the whole experience. The Bamboo socks 100g is beautiful and Koigu wool is stunning. I highly recommend going to the Wool Pirate for beautiful yarns, wool and natural Fibre. As always, support local.
Great source for lovely yarns!
Online shopping was super easy, delivery faster than expected. The thank you note from Cindy included with the order along with a sample packet of SOAK (my next project to be blocked thanks you!) was a lovely touch-will definitely make The Wool Pirate one of my go-to sources for future projects!
Easy ordering
Delivery on time
I’ve used this Scottish yarn in the past and was eager to make the shawl recommended by your shop 🙂
great selection of yarns, and speedy delivery, will definately shop with The Wool Pirate again!
Contact with the owner was quick and courteous. She allowed me to add to an existing order which resulted in only one shipping charge. The mystery yarn package ordered was received I a timely manner. I was pleased with the colours and yarn provided.
Ordering was very easy & I got my order within 2-3 days. It was package nicely including a little sample of the Soak. The emails are very thoughtful & personal. The only bad review is the great deals that's very hard to reject. Great job! Love shopping here! :)
Always great and fair prices for the yarn. The orders are always packaged with care and shipped out quickly. Highly recommend. I only order online as I cannot visit in person.
As someone who works closely with e-commerce, I do recommend removing the newsletter blocker from the sales page. While it's ok for someone who wishes not to subscribe, it shouldn't block them from seeing the sales page after dismissing it. It would introduce more friction and sales drop in the future.
The folks of The Wool Pirate send the fastest ship in their fleet to get the yarn, knitting needles, and all the other bits and bobs to your home so quick, it's amazing! The quality of the products they stock plus their prices, have definitely let me come back time and again to get new items from them. Thank you Cindy and your shop for letting experience the fun and joy of knitting :) Much love from a Newfie in Ontario
My order was shipped the next day and packed with care both times I ordered.
