### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just read the listing
*by J***E on January 24, 2026*

The yarn is very soft. The balls are smaller, but just pay attention to how much you need. The shipping was long, but it was accurately described in the estimate. Again, just pay attention that it’s coming from Lithuania. It was packaged very nicely and overall I had a lovely experience! I made a cable knit baby hat and I still have yarn left over.
