Men Who Knit Promoting and inspiring the art of knitting amongst men.

I bought enough of this yarn in a shade called Waikari yarn to make a pullover for myself. It’s a lovely marled yarn in natural shades of white and dark brown.

It feels ever so slightly of lanolin, leaving a very mild greasiness to the hands after using. It’s a two-ply yarn and knitted up as though it was very slightly over spun. The skeins had a few lengths which were slightly thinner than the rest, but I notice that this is an issue that the producer is trying to address at the time of writing.

I liked it, but it’ll be a while before I use it again, particularly as one sweater's-worth was around GBP 100. If I bought it again in the future, I’ll probably knit into the back of the loops when I’m ribbing to tighten things up slightly.

Order it from the UK, or visit the manufacturer's website in New Zealand.
