Pros

  • Includes fine merino superwash and alpaca for a natural fibre portion.
  • The 50g doughnut ball is a manageable size for Aran samples.
  • Needle guidance is clear at 5mm (US8).

Cons

  • Each ball gives only 110m, so full garments need several balls.
  • The fixed 5mm needle spec excludes lace or bulky patterns.
  • Acrylic and polyamide make up more than half the blend, so not pure natural.
