        This yarn is truly lovely. As soon as I saw the design in The Knitter (I have a subscription), I knew that I had to buy the yarn as soon as I could afford it (I had to get Christmas presents out of the way first!) I couldn't believe how fast my order was completed and delivered to me! I ordered it late on a Saturday night, on the Sunday I received an email telling me that it was being dyed and I received it on the Tuesday! Mind you, I almost missed it as, I didn't know that the courier had left my paper parcel behind our brown garden waste bin in the front garden! They hadn't left a card through the door telling me where it was and it was my husband who discovered the parcel by chance when he moved the bin in preparation for dustbin day. It had been raining that day and the parcel was slightly damp but, fortunately, the contents were fine. The yarn is beautiful and, thanks for the tote bag to keep it in! Maybe Mr. McIntosh could have a few words with the courier about their delivery methods. I don't know who delivered my parcel! Meanwhile, I'm really looking forward to a wool-winding session with my yarn swift, followed by knitting the Barragan Shawl.

        Absolutely stunning yarn, the colours are beautiful. The texture of the yarn yarn is soft and feels lovely to touch. I am so looking forward to the knitter magazine arriving on the 4th October.
        Great packaging and all environmentally friendly keep up the great work Mcintosh yarns. I love to knit shawls and am looking forward to knitting Kath Andrew’s pattern
