Super soft, great color. Loved working with it
I found this yarn to be very soft and I have enjoyed knitting with it. I am having a little difficulty with arthritis in my right wrist so it is taking me a little longer than usual to knit the pair of fingerless mitts. I have finished one and I will be working on the other one. The yarn was a very good choice.
Beautiful sweater yarn, very soft and knits up beautifully
Absolutely beautiful yarn! So soft to the touch and perfect for knitted sweaters! I would buy again without question! But I would add that most of the yarns I’ve purchased from the Fibre Co. have been outstanding! A little pricey, but worth it for experienced knitters who want to knit up something special.
Stunningly soft!
Stunningly soft!
Lovely fiber to work with! Excellent price!
Love love love this fiber. It’s a dream to work up!
The most beautiful of all !
I am addicted to this yarn. Softest yarn ever! It knits up smoothly and I didn’t have any problems with splitting which sometimes occurs with a very soft yarn. It’s so nice to have a one-skein pattern which easily makes a lovely gift.
I love this brand of yarn 🧶
Love, love, love this yarn! It works up like a dream! Such a gorgeous color! Worth every penny!
IT feels good to work with it.
This yarn is heavenly. I plan to make a cardigan with it. Right now I am just admiring it!
I love this yarn. It's so warm and soft. It made the perfect scarf ❤️

most gorgeous luxury yarn garments are just
beautiful soft
This is the nicest yarn I have ever knitted with. Luxurious feeling and stunning final result. If I must write something negative, it was that the yarn tangled sometimes, but the positive things with this yarn are definitely predominant. I made a chevron blanket/shawl, navy and off-white and it was very much appreciated by the friend who received it for her first child.

Beautiful feel, amazing warmth, and the fiber holds the color amazingly. This is an exquisite fiber to work with, just a pleasure to knit. I made a loop scarf, and I adore it. I love the person who suggested doubling it into the edge of a cap for warmth. Quite frankly, I just love holding it, and looking at it. It is my favorite yarn.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Mary, we're really glad you like our Road to China Light yarn!
Almost perfect!
My favorite yarn to work with. Am wanting to make all my projects from it. I like to double strand it with wool/yak to make a dk for sweaters.
Its a dream to knit. For cables there's some stitch definition. It has a subtle bloom. Not too fuzzy. Then there are the colors. Amatrine and moonstone stand out with their multi facets. Moonstone has Grey's, brown and when knit gives of a silvery whitish sheen. Just stunning.

This yarn is incredibly soft and light. It lacks the heft of 100% wool sport weights and is light and airy. I love using it as a double layered brim on my knit hats for a soft, warm, light layer over my ears, paired with a heavier merino weight on the body of the hat. It could be the perfect yarn for the right projects (babies and next to skin), but is not the perfect yarn for every project (lacks the durability for abuse).
