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.

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!:)

Thank you Jessica, we try to be as unbiased as possible. We would love to hear what other yarns you prefer more? :)
