Rowan Big Wool

Fun, quick knit with yarn that feels great.

I actually bought the Rowan Big Wool in Forrest, rather than Biscotti. It is a nice, soft merino yarn, but I was a wee bit disappointed with it. For a start it's not just as chunky as I was expecting and the fabric it is producing on 10 and 12 mm needles is a little looser than I would like, even though they are the sizes recommended on the ball band. It is also a little inclined to split and one of the balls had two knots in it. it also has quite a lot of wee bits of foreign material in it, like maybe plant material, which I have to pick out. As I said, itis nice and soft and I expect the jumper I'm working on to be absolutely fine, but I did expect a better product from a premium brand. I think that I might choose a different yarn next time I'm looking for a super chunky.
