Knitting with MYSTERY

MYSTERY (a review)

You know when you touch a yarn and instantly think, oh… you’re coming home with me? That’s MYSTERY. Chunky, soft, and ridiculously huggable, it’s the yarn you’ll reach for when you want to spoil yourself (or someone you really, really like). Bonus: it’s machine washable, so you can actually wear it as much as you’ll want to.

My First Impressions

MYSTERY by WOOLADDICTS is exactly what its name suggests — a yarn so soft it feels like poetry in your hands. With an extraordinary 92% extrafine merino content, it offers a tactile experience that’s as close to love in yarn form as I’ve ever found. From the very first touch, its gentle warmth and smoothness are irresistible, and the superwash finish means this is a romance you can actually live with, not just admire.
