Koigu KPM Solid Yarn - 1051 Reviews

I was working on a lacy shawl. I always am sure with this type of pattern to join at the ends. I was very disappointed when in the middle of my pattern I was confronted with joined, bulky yarn in the middle of a skein. This yarn is too expensive for such nonsens Won't be ordering again.

I first bought Koigu yarn from a specialty store that's far from me. Was delighted to find it on line and at Jimmy Beans. Koigu is easy to work with. I've had no problems with it splintering. It is a delight to work with. Feels good. Colors are fabulous. All I have used it for so far is Fair Isle hats.

I love to work with this yarn. Has body and holds up. Love the KPM colors

I bought this to knit a specific project from a Vogue Knitting book. When it arrived, I thought that it was an interesting color but it didn't FEEL special in any way. I work with a lot of really nice yarns, and this one just felt average to me. It is definitely affordable and I agree with most reviewers that it is a solid choice for most knitting projects. I can't say anything bad about it, but for luxury items I will definitely be turning to other merinos such as Madelinetosh or other fibers/mixtures such as merino/alpaca or even Hand Maiden's sea silk!

I love all their yarns and these are beautiful too! they are easy to work up, easy to use, durable, feel good, and make exquisite projects due to their colors. I cannot buy enough of this!

I love knitting with Koigu KPM and KPPPM. Both have that perfect amount of twist to make lovely stitch definition. They yarn is wonderfully consistent in thickness, lack of knots, and overall quality. Since each skein is handpainted, there can be some variance in dyes. Just plan ahead when you begin a project and enjoy that! This particular shade is absolutely stunning: a very dark charcoal grey with occasional pale grey stripes. It's really not a solid, but it certainly is lovely. Wonderful yarn!
