I have been stitching the "Tawny Owl" (from EB's "Needlework Animals" book )to use up bits and pieces of old yarn and needed additional wool for the solid lt. blue background. I was a bit concerned if the new 711 would match what I had already sewn with old wool.
But no worries! Not only does the color match perfectly, but the weight and texture are just the same.
Very happy!
