BC Garn Loch Lomond GOTS - 07 Dark brown

Simply the best) Warm, not scratchy, soft, cotton-wool-like and a little rough (in a nice way). It goes a long way, knits easily and quickly, doesn't split, and generally behaves perfectly)

It pills quite a lot, but its other qualities make that forgivable. The texture rather lends itself to that anyway. It doesn't hold ribbing, but that is to be expected too.

A lovely palette, excellent gauge and yarn economy for this yardage. To my mind, it's a versatile yarn for upper-body garments: cables, stranded colourwork, everything works well, and plain stockinette stitch is beautiful in its own right. I have two favourite yarns for pretty much every occasion: Loch and Semilla. They're always the first ones I look at.

This yarn is my personal favourite, especially for winter and autumn. I've only knitted one sweater so far, but I've fallen in love with the texture: a soft yarn with tweed flecks. The garment turned out light but very warm! The yardage goes a long way, especially if you don't knit tightly. I used 4.5 mm needles and think the resulting gauge was excellent. I've already bought yarn for another 2 projects. I'm waiting for autumn so I can enjoy some cosy time, a TV series and a new sweater ❤

One of my favourite yarns from BC Garn!
- a pleasant woollen-spun yarn with a tweed effect
- doesn't itch, good for sensitive skin
- doesn't pill
- comfortable to wear: the garment is light yet warm, with a 'dry warmth' effect

It holds stitch patterns beautifully and doesn't change significantly after washing and blocking.

A stunning, rich palette!

I recommend this yarn for upper-body garments, scarves and shawls, perhaps mittens, perhaps stranded-colourwork hats on small needles.
A ribbed hat in this yarn really won't work.
Excellent for stranded colourwork.

A tweed that is comfortable to knit with, both in fibre content and thickness, with an absolutely incredible palette.

Often sells out.

The brown with blue flecks is simply to die for! And the yarn is very soft. It became my favourite cabled sweater: very warm, but not too hot.

A soft, processed yarn with tweed flecks; it was a pleasure to knit with.
The finished garment is warm and comfortable.
My skin isn't particularly sensitive, so this yarn doesn't feel scratchy to me, even when I'm hot.

I haven't found any drawbacks.

I knitted the Moby dickey. I bought 3 hanks, but had quite a lot left over.

I bought it for a sweater for my husband. I planned to knit it in stockinette stitch. It holds ribbing well and looks beautiful in stockinette. A yarn with a masculine character (you couldn't call it kitten-soft), but I wouldn't call it scratchy either. There are bits of straw in the yarn, but they are very easy to remove as you knit. After washing and blocking, the swatch neither shrank nor stretched. The yarn doesn't bloom, although a slight halo appeared.
