I've made a couple of small items out of it, abag which I still need to felt but can't find at the moment, and a pair of longies. It is really soft and well worth the money.
I've been tempted to make a cardigan out of it, but I am too worried about it getting felted by mistake.

They do a superwash one as well, I ment to look for it before but totally forgot, as I decided to use lionbrand woolease for my project instead. Not sure if it is readily available in the UK though

I found it quite rough and scratchy. Plus it felted when I wore the wrist warmers out in the rain.

I used it for my aunty's afghan at Christmas and it's lovely to knit with and has very good stitch definition for cables. I also used it for a fair isle hat for DH which has worn very well. I'll definitely use it again.

That's a bit worrying then 
You just get such mixed reviews of wools don't you

I'm more than a tadge embarassed to admit I've S-T-I-L-L got Wooley OTN and have subbed the Noro yarn for Cascade  . I'd no problems with it at all and found it very soft and pleasant to knit with ... but have not tested the felting abilities yet. It was definately nicer to work with than Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride IMHO.

Most people do say it's soft don't they but I think I'm a bit worried to use it for a labour intensive thing if it felts easily so might have to go back to the drawing board - I've spent 2 days swatching for the Must Have cardi now

maybe I'm just fussy. but I don't like anything other than merino, silk and cashmere.
