This yarn is just beautiful! It has been a little compacted during production and storage, so I decided to give it a rinse before use. Now it is perfect for knitting my shawl!

Whether MC or CC in Fair Isle patterning, it will be easy to match up. Shade is exactly as shown in the pic at the website, so no surprises :-) But first, still have pencil rolags to knit up another pair of Thrum Slippers & Mitts first.

I bought this yarn to make a sweater and it's lovely! True to yarn weight, great colour, and nice to work with. I did have to pick some twigs out while winding it into a cake, but I suspect that's par for the course with more rustic yarns. My gauge swatch is perfect for the project I'm working on and I'm looking forward to seeing how it knits up overall!

My box of yarn-y goodness arrived a few days after ordering, and what fun it was to open it! While this review is for the green heather (which is beautiful, I love it!) I also ordered other colours with the idea of trying to knit fairisle hats. I’m impressed with both the quality of the wool, and the colours. Thank you Topsy team, I really appreciate what you’re doing at the farm, and that I can order from a Canadian business. Now to start knitting those hats.....

I've been knitting with Topsy Farms worsted and aran for over a decade but this was my first go with the fingering. I knit a lace wrap with 2 skeins of green heather (probably my favourite colourway) and I find it strong, nice to knit (the natural colours actually moisturize your hands as you knit, this dyed fingering not so much), and I love the way it blooms when you wash it with Eucalan. Beautiful yarn, and I love the smell. Will buy again.
