Let customers speak for us
from 99 reviewsI've been looking for cotton the source of which is knowable and which hasn't gone through a mercerization process. So I was really excited to find Skipper. The palette is lovely, and the cotton itself is a joy to work with, producing a gorgeous fabric.
Easy pattern. Classic style to wear with a blazer or by itself. Slim styling for all figure types.
Camper is a beautiful yarn, in terms of the feel and color. It’s a joy to work with.
I think the pattern is absolutely perfect. I am interested in easy construction with classic and fashionable results.
I am completely happy with my purchase. I will be looking forward to purchasing new patterns in the future. Lovely, company to work with.
Thank you so very much
Ok I'll be upfront - this yarn is not next-to-skin soft. Its RUSTIC. That said, I knit this into a cardigan (the winter sweater) and it worked fantastic. It's warm but surprisingly light weight for a bulky yarn. And the stitch definition is amazing, even for the darker colors. Highly recommend for knitting outerwear.
This is such a beautiful yarn! The colors are amazing and because it is merino the finished garment blooms and softens into magical merino fluffiness. Tweed that isn’t scratchy is a delight to knit and wear!
Soothing and calming fragrance I love it !
I love this yarn! I do alot of test knitting for knitwear designers. This is the third sweater pattern test I have used Scout for this year. It knits up beautifully and the result is a lovely lightweight garment. I guess I’d have to call it my go-to yarn!
Great yarn first introduced to me at an LYS on the Steel City (Pittsburgh) Yarn Crawl.
Colorway Fog. Finished a Felix Pullover right before Thanksgiving last month and love the yarn. Easy to work with and not scratchy-and warm. The thistle colorway I got from KW is waiting to be something special. Love the colorway-waited a long time for it!
Not sure if my prior review correctly listed the “stars”.
This is definitely a 5-Star yarn!!!
I am finishing the Camper sweater and love how it looks, how the pattern works, the feel and weight of the yarn; so I have had my eye on the Popcorn sweater as the yarn is beautiful as well as the fullness of the sweater which I will soon start to knit.
Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed is the best yarn I have ever used. I made Thea Colman's Dark and Stormy. After blocking it looked very professional. All the stitches were smooth and even.
Beautiful light weight yarn at an amazing price. I can feel the quality while the project is still in progress. Will buy again.
This yarn is a gorgeous lofty and soft tweed yarn. The color I choose was a deep saturated color with pretty contrasting flecks !
Very cute sweater pattern with easy to understand instructions. Although I’ve never knit a sweater from top down, I’ve read thru the pattern and should have no problem knitting. I have several Courtney Kelly patterns and love them all!

Kate and Courtney met while working in a local yarn store in Philadelphia, PA; Courtney was a new mom and Kate was in her final year of grad school. Together they founded Kelbourne Woolens at Kate's kitchen table, and have been working side by side ever since.
