BC Garn Hamelton Tweed 1 GOTS - 19 Sand

Very soft, and the shade is beautiful in person. I knitted a textured hood with it; two balls were more than enough. I'm very happy 🥰 The value for money is just right.

No drawbacks)

If I could give it a score of 10, that is what it would get! The best yarn!
Let's take it in order:
- the wool is soft and not scratchy, a perfect yarn: it doesn't break, it is strong and beautifully twisted!
- the viscose in the blend is the tweed flecks; they don't fall out and are very well spun into the wool.

The yarn holds stitch patterns beautifully: cables and Aran patterns. It stays stable in ribbing and in stockinette stitch.

It doesn't stretch or lose its shape with wear. No surprises after washing: the yarn is perfect!

I've knitted both an upper-body garment and a hat with it. I'm 100% happy. The yarn is worth every rouble.

It smells wonderful! I adore this yarn. You need at least 10 balls for an upper-body garment.

A nicely twisted yarn, with just the right thickness. The flecks come in lovely, varied colours; there are lots of them and they are large. It knits up very quickly and glides nicely over wooden needles. The viscose actually makes the yarn a little more slippery than ordinary wool with this kind of twist. The size does not change much in the wash.

It uses quite a lot of yarn, but that is hardly surprising with this yardage. With the darker shades, a slightly pale halo sometimes emerges (I suspected the viscose in the blend, but I don't know), though the yarn itself is flecked, so it is not a big deal.

Simply the best tweed!! It's a pity there are so few shades; I want to knit everything with it.

Low yarn consumption and wool that does not itch at all!

An incredibly easy yarn to work with. I think it is ideal for beginners: plump, and projects grow quickly. I spent a long time choosing among different wool yarns, but then I felt a Hamelton swatch in the physical shop and fell in love! The softest wool, absolutely non-itchy. After washing and blocking it became even more beautiful and did not stretch at all. A dream! And the tweed colours are gorgeous; the knitted fabric looks refined and expensive.

A beautiful colour and an even fabric with a subtle, elegant sheen. It does not itch and feels pleasant against the skin. A reasonable price. Quick to knit. Warm without being too hot.

None.

I knitted a classic sleeveless vest in Smouldering Embers. I bought 8 balls and used 4 mm needles, as I knit more loosely than the manufacturer's recommended gauge.
I am very happy with the result.

I bought the yarn for men's mittens in colour 16, Smouldering Embers. The colour is very beautiful. I used no more than two balls on 4 mm needles. It did not change after washing and blocking and stood up wonderfully to being unravelled and reworked several times. The yarn has a slight sheen and felt soft and non-itchy to me. I would like to make something else with it.

I knitted a double-layer beanie in Mermaid Hair (an amazing colour), for a head circumference of 56 cm and a folded length of 23 cm. It took a little over 2 balls. Thanks to the viscose, the yarn is very soft and pleasant, with a light halo and lovely flecks. I did not expect tweed to be so gentle. It is not alpaca, of course, but this tweed does not itch at all for me. So versatile!

I knitted a stranded-colourwork hat with this yarn combined with Lana Gatto Maxi Vip. The two yarns work beautifully together. The hat has a subtle tweed effect and looks really great) Winter will be here soon, and then we can try it out)

I knitted a hat with the grey yarn. The thread is elastic, holds ribbing well, and neither changed colour nor stretched after washing and blocking. Very beautiful tweed flecks. For a hat with a head circumference of 54 cm, I used one and a half balls on 4.5 mm needles.

I bought the yarn to try it. The Denim colour is beautiful, and a hat made with it looks very interesting. But I find it quite prickly, so I would recommend that people with sensitive skin consider other options. Overall, I liked the yarn. It is fairly affordable compared with other tweeds.
