WOOL ADDICTS MOVE 6-Ply (a review)

Some yarns are dependable. Some are exciting. MOVE is both — a sock yarn that’s soft enough to hug your feet, sturdy enough to keep up with your day, and colourful enough to make you grin while you knit. Honestly, it’s hard to stop at just one project.

My First Impressions

MOVE by WOOL ADDICTS is anything but shy. This yarn bursts with saturated colour and brings a joyful personality to every stitch. While its sturdy-yet-soft composition makes it ideal for socks, its vibrant palette is irresistible for a wide range of projects.
