(Chunky) "Whilst some single ply yarns can feel weak and prone to breaking, this one is extremely strong and smooth to knit producing a soft and chunky fabric with a bouncy handle" Knitting Magazine, see the printed review here, and read the online review here.

(Chunky) "It's a soft singles yarn, with a light feel. It has a nice aura - the fluffiness you can see in the photo - which I wasn't expecting." Jacqui Harding, Happymaking Designs

"The shades all have a beautiful sheen to them which the photos simply don’t do justice to, very very pretty!" Sarah Woodhouse, Nottingham Knitter, read the whole article here.

(Chunky) "......a dream to work with ....... and gave great stitch definition which was even more obvious after blocking as the yarn really relaxed." Sally, SallyStrawberry, read the whole review here.

"Libby Summers Fine Aran comes in such a gorgeous range of colours that at first I didn’t quite know what to design with them, or which colours to use. Each and every colour could be paired to make something beautiful, the possibilities were vast. Once I finally made my colour choices I crocheted my design up in no time. The yarn was so soft and luxurious, and slipped off my hook with such ease that it made my project fast and effortless to crochet. The yarn gave great stitch definition resulting in a lovely looking end product. My finished design, a bobble hat in this case, is incredibly cosy, warm, and comfortable to wear. Crocheting with a yarn of this quality is addictive, I can’t wait to start a new design, and try out a new colour scheme of course!" Sally, Sally Strawberry

(Fine Aran) "I couldn't have imagined up a more perfect yarn - everything from its drape, to its smooth handle to its colour palette is so well thought through for a gorgeous knitting experience." Kat Goldin, Slugs on the Refrigerator Blog and crochet author and designer
