Giant Wool Yarn Chunky Merino Arm Knitting Super Soft Wool Yarn Bulky Wool Roving Pink 4.4 lbs

Very pleasantly surprised by the quality and fast shipping.

Lovely color, structural integrity iffy pulls apart and sheds a lot. Some of the wool was not very held together that’s why I felted it. I felted it in the washing machine before knitting but still structurally iffy in some areas. I arm knitted a lap blanket and I only used about 3-4 pounds and have lots left and the blanket is heavy!

I knew this was roving when I bought it. That's what I wanted. But if you are expecting a "yarn" this is NOT what you want. Yarn is multiple spun strands which are plied (wound) together. Roving is combed wool fibers which are gathered into a loose sort of strand which is easily torn and separated. Roving can be used to spin yarn, but it is not yarn is this form. Reviewers who complain that this roving falls apart and sheds fibers are experiencing what roving is meant to be. It's a bit like complaining that your toaster won't dry your socks very well. Again, this is not a fat yarn. Even though people DO use it for "arm knitting" it is NOT a true yarn. This is roving which is intended for spinning into yarn on a spinning wheel, or for various felting crafts.

A throw over a couch.

It would of be perfect if it didn’t shed so much. I won’t use the blanket because of it.That warning should of been in the description.

Beautiful quality, thick and heavy. It came vacuum sealed, so it was compressed and needed airing to expand fully.

It was easy to tear apart so when using it you have to be super gentle when unwinding the yarn or tightening anything. It ripped multiple times in the first 20 minutes of using it before I realized how careful I had to be. Once I got the hang of it though it turn into a nice blanket.

Yarn was ok but the zipper case it came in was ripped along the whole bottom seam. I bought as a gift so I was very disappointed.
