The best for Ganseys work! Although I didn't use my ball of J & S 5 ply for an actual Ganseys sweater, I bought this yarn to make a pair of Ultima Mitts by Ella Gordon Designs, a pattern inspired by traditional Ganseys and available through Woolly Thistle. This yarn is perfect for Gansey style knitting, the colors are bright, and the pattern of the stitches comes through tight and clean.
Let us handle the hard part.

Um, it'll probably be Xmas before I figure out where I stashed this yarn and perhaps the next year before I figure out what I'm making with it, but it felt nice in the shop. That's the best review I can give you. Who are these knitters who cast on this fast?!

Although I didn't use my ball of J & S 5 ply for an actual Ganseys sweater, I bought this yarn to make a pair of Ultima Mitts by Ella Gordon Designs, a pattern inspired by traditional Ganseys and available through Woolly Thistle. This yarn is perfect for Gansey style knitting, the colors are bright, and the pattern of the stitches comes through tight and clean. I am using US 2 needles for this project. As always Woolley Thistle is a delight to work with. They are very responsive and knowledgeable and clearly committed to their craft. I highly recommend you try this J & S 5 ply wool.
