Plymouth Angora Yarn (3027 Teal)

I have purchased angora before but this is the first time from Plymouyh yarn. I was a little disappointed with the thickness of the angora. The Plymouth yarn is Italian angora while my previous angora was French. I did use the agora as I was pressed for time to complete my project.

The item was as specified but I wasn't expecting how small it would be. To make any sort of project with it you would need to buy 30 or 40 at a time to finish a project.For embellishments and for small pieces and then your all out.

I decided to try this because of the low price, and I knitted a lace scarf with it. It is okay, didn't have any real problems, but the halo or furriness is much less than the French angora yarn, so if you want it for a very special item, and can afford it, the French angora is the way to go.

I purchased this yarn to make mitts. It knits up into a very soft and cozy fabric. The only minus is that it sheds a little when you knit it, but that's typical of most angoras. The fabric it knits up into does not shed, which is very nice. Definitely would buy again.

If you want truly fluffy Angora, this is not your yarn. Even doubled it won't produce much effect and the cost savings, if any, are small are don't warrant the loss of quality. It'll do in a pinch is a realistic expectation.

Soft and beautiful

Very skimp with the angora!

It was certain yarn. I’ve been using angora on Christmas stockings for years. The quality of this is very substandard. I used it but was not nearly as nice as past angoras I used.
