Rated 4 out of 5 by LindaD from Faulty Batch I am very disappointed with this latest batch of WI Soft & Cuddly wool. Shade no 704.70401. The last two balls that I've knit with and the current ball have knots in them. This has caused me to us more wool and end up with waste. Usually I'm very happy with this product. I knit all of my baby blankets / shawls with this wool and whilst I'm sure it just a bad batch amongst many, I thought that Hobbycraft would like to hear about this. Kind regards

Rated 2 out of 5 by Loz21 from NOT 4 ply! Although this yarn is lovely to knit with, I ended up having to buy nearly twice the quantity suggested on the pattern. My tension was spot on so I checked the yarn. It did feel thicker than 4 ply and it actually has 5 strands. This meant the cost of the baby shawl was almost double what I expected. On the plus side, I was able to purchase yarn from the same batch.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GrandmaPat from What a shame This is not the first time I have found knots in this wool. Presently knitting another baby blanket, but will have to find an alternative for the next one, shame. I know I could have returned to store, but with a round trip of 18 miles, it is wise to buy extra, and had already visited to get 3 extra balls!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Genie252 from Women's Institute Yarn. I have used the Women's Institute Yarn before when I crocheted a sofa throw. I just love this yarn as even though it is acrylic, it has quality and is not too lightweight; neither does it split like a lot of other acrylic yarns. I will carry on buying it for other projects too.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Dismayed from Disappointed I returned this yarn because my online order for three balls was from three different batches! I was told that although they try to match batches it can’t be guaranteed. What nonsense! Anyone who knits knows that this is ridiculous, I will never buy yarn from Hobbycraft again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GillyKnits from Great for a beginner I’m just learning (I’m two weeks in) and have some yarn that’s pretty tricky to work because it is one yarn made of individual strands that separate but I’ve found this one to be brilliant, much easier to work with but still really soft and a lovely brilliant white.

Rated 3 out of 5 by AaaaaSueG from Surprisingly good quality for Acrylic yarn Surprisingly good quality For Acrylic yarn (which I would normally describe as disposable)! The WI have come up trumps with this one and I have made several baby clothes as has my daughter. I would purchase this again for children's clothes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Grandma bel from WI DK wool Disappointed that there were short strands popping out at random. Also I join my yarn with a needle but this warn goes to straight strands making it awkward for a smooth join. This was used to knit a baby blanket and matching outfit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rb899 from Women’s Institute wool Women’s Institute Soft and cuddle yarn is beautiful to knit with as is an of the Women’s institute range. Good quality wool. Doesn’t split when knitting. Very white colour not off white. Ideal for babies or anything soft. Love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sanders from Soft and smooth This is is a soft yarn which is pleasant to work with. However, I did find that the ply was easily split and I had to be careful when knitting with it. I have yet to try it for crochet.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Gill8 from Could be better I really like this to knit baby items but was really disappointed this time as I had to break the yarn 3 times in one ball due to knots. It’s not cheap so don’t expect this to happen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Judy55 from Lovely yarn Really like this yarn and have used it many times. Although the results are good, I wonder if I should use a smaller needle size as it is finer than other baby double knitting yarn.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Summer20 from Soft enough for baby blanket I was not sure how this would knit up but was pleasantly surprised how soft it has knitted Baby blanket nearly finished. Would use this again as also reasonable price

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sev22 from Lovely yarn A lovely yarn to work with. I needed something to match another brand I was working with and this worked perfectly - nice and soft and great value from the WI range.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jenny1959 from Lovely and soft The wool is lovely and soft however I needed to use slightly smaller needles than the pattern and wool suggested to make the work look less ‘loose’
