I bought this yarn for a cabled cardigan. It has a lot of spinning oil in the skane and seems flat while knitting but it blooms beautifully once washed and blocked.
I tried this yarn as I was knitting a sweater for myself to wear to Capitals hockey games. So, I was looking for a red worsted weight yarn, but I also didn't want to spend a lot of money. The Briggs and Little was a great choice. It knits up a bit stiff and feels crunchy on the needles, but the blocked swatch was drapey and soft. It's 90 percent done, but so far I am very happy with the yarn/fabric. Using the Tin Can Knits Flax pattern and the stitch definition is great. Extra bonus ---the yarn is Canadian and the whole project is about $60!!
Over spun and very unpleasant to the touch. Much too harsh for any garment.
Thank you for your review. At The Woolly Thistle, we specialize in and celebrate non-superwash wool like Briggs & Little. Regal is a rustic, minimally processed yarn with a long-standing heritage of craftsmanship. Its unique character is a reflection of its strength and durability, making it ideal for outerwear and long-lasting projects. While it may feel coarse to the touch initially, a soak in lukewarm water often softens it, making it ideal for hardworking, long-lasting garments and outerwear.
We understand that texture preferences vary, so if you’d like help finding a softer option, we'd be happy to help.
Our knitting kits are specially curated with all the yarn and inspiration you'll need to complete your project
