Sugar Bush Yarn Chill Extra Bulky Weight, Fire Pink

The colors are beautiful and it is a heavy yarn that would be perfect for a hat if there was an adequate amount of yarn in one skein. I used 15 US 16" circulars to knit a ribbed hat. I am so bummed out because the hat is about 2 inches short of covering any adult's ears. I refuse to buy another just to finish the hat because I don't need even close to a half of a skein more so it would be a waste. Also if I wanted to spend twice as much money to make one hat I would not pick this yarn because it is not as soft as other Extra Bulky Fine Merino such as Wool Addicts Fire which is also 100g per skein but not as dense so its plenty of yarn to make a hat. I really wanted to love this yarn and the colors really are so gorgeous but like other reviews said, they need to add more yarn per skein.

This is supposed to be 52 yards, but I found that the length varies between colors. I made 5 1/2 inches of 3 squares of knitting in Beaufort Sea but the Hudson’s Grey made me only 2 1/2 squares of knitting. The Arctic sky yarn is not 52 yards as well. This is annoying.

I fell in love with SugarBush Yarns through YarnBox. This was my first time purchasing the "Chill" Super Bulky variety and it did not disappoint. It is very soft, and to me, non itchy as most merino should be. I have Sensory Processing Disorder so I try and stick with merinos. I knit this one skien up into a GAP-tastic Cowl by casting on 59 stitches with size 19 needles. I cast off when there was 9-10g left.If I was to knit with this again, I might even consider using size 35 needles to make the yarn go a little further. I plan to try this with another ball of the Chill that I have.Overall ... good quality. Good value. Great for soft, squishy gifts.Edited to add ... this is probably in my top 3 favorite yarns. Super squishy and soft. Since it is extra fine merino its softness is amazing. This is also very, VERY similar to Cascade Spuntaneous.

The colors on this Sugar Bush yarn are darker than shown. The wool is beautiful though. i've bought a couple of those yarn balls in different colors. it's a good quality thicker Merino wool all evenly spun. There is a longer darker hair spun in with it quite once in a while. i loved all the other colors i bought and they all matched up with the picture shown on the product page, but the colors on this "Meadow Mist" are darker than i wanted and expected them to be. i'm only giving it 2 stars for that reason, otherwise i'd give it 5 stars. Of course if you make a project with only these colors they are absolutely beautiful and nothing to complain about, but i wanted the lighter colors as pictured because of my color combination. Sabiene :)UPDATE: i am giving this beautiful Merino wool a 5 star now, because i have bought many more colors that i'm knitting with and it is wonderful. There was never any more problem of having any human hair spun in it at all anymore. i will buy more in the future.

I was so happy to find this amazing Sugar Bush yarn on Amazon, but when the 13 skeins I ordered began arriving in single boxes I was alarmed. Every knitter wants their yarn from the same dye lot on a project, especially a single-color project with such pricey yarn. I was very disappointed to get multiple dye lots and called Amazon to alert them. I did return it and they said they wouldn't charge me shipping. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this is in an attempt to help Amazon fix this error. This is absolutely fabulous yarn from Italy, super soft and lovely, but different dye lots won't ever suit my purposes. Hope they read this and take note.

This is not chunky or bulky yarn. It is overpriced for it's size.

This was not nearly enough yarn for the money. I bought two skeins and was only able to get a stumpy scarf out of it. It also smelled weird - a bit too chemical. I did not read the washing and care instructions (and still haven’t), but assumed it was machine washable. It’s not. Now I have a hard rock shaped like a stumpy scarf.

As someone else mentioned, this yarn does smell like chemicals. I have an extremely sensitive nose, so maybe this wouldn't be noticeable to other people. I had to stop knitting and will be returning the unopened cake. Otherwise, this is a very good quality yarn. Sugar Bush should consider offering undyed yarns and yarns with plant dyes.
