I’m really surprised that you consider this yarn to be similar in softness with Sisu! As someone who has used KFO’s Merino, Sandnes Sunday and Sisu, I would say that Merino and Sunday are identical, and Sisu is a bit rougher. The KFO Merino that I used was the color Artichoke Purple so it could be the dye is making the yarn feel rougher
I truly don't understand the hype about this yarn. I got the merino and mohair and honestly, there are a lot of other choices that I prefer. It's fine, but just not compelling for me. I almost feel like there's some pressure to love this. Thank you for the honest review.
@@UntwistedThreads I’m still experimenting with different yarns and following you closely!. High desert from KnitPicks is a nice one with an ethical backstory, but may not be accessible worldwide. Valley Yarns is available in the US and the UK and makes a nice super wash - I haven’t tried the non-superwash. I think you did a review on schachenmeyer, which I like. DROPS makes pretty good merinos in Daisy (you reviewed so I bought!) and extra fine merino. There are some more expensive ones that I probably won’t buy much of since budget is a consideration for me, but Manos Del Uraguay maxima is quite nice.
It's much more affordable and has more colors options than other brand. On top of that, all of Knitting for Olive yarns have colors compatible that's very difficult to find elsewhere
@@linhny_linhlinh I agree with the color selection being amazing. I wish that I liked the yarn a bit more. I’ve not tried Sandnes Garn Sunday but have heard it’s close to DROPS Daisy when held double, which I like. Sunday has a really large color selection too. Overall though, I am having trouble finding a non-superwash yarn with a lot of colors so I am considering giving this another chance.

You make a great point, different colors have the potential to feel different!
I am using the same colour in KFO merino and finding it good and it compares well with our NZ merino
That's great to hear!:)
I´m new to this channel and I would love to see a review of Lana Grossa Cool Wool and Lana Grossa Natural Alpaca Pelo!
