Thanks everyone. I think the wool helps alot. A friend has seen them and wants a pair to play golf in ( no I don’t play - like to do crafts instead!) so am going to try a different colour way.
Loving the colour, may have to use my Kaffe Fassett (in my Ravelry stash) for the next pair I do.
I wonder whether the yarn would work with this pattern that I bought a couple of week ago.

What do you think?
Give it a try Lise. The pattern I used was not the one that came with the wool. It is great how it automatically knits in hoops. He also does one - a ball of wool I mean - that knits into fair isle without all the hassel of changing wools. The woolshop lady has knitted it up into hats, scarves and bags. All look great!
