Review summary

Reviewers mostly praise the yarn's quality and how easily it knits, with several noting that stitches show clearly. Complaints are uncommon. The few that appear concern softness, fluff and a plain look for certain patterns.

Fast and efficient

I used a Pima cotton. And was extremely impressed by the handle and the knitting up. The colour (sea foam) is beautiful and stitch definition is very good.

Prompt...helpful....service

I’ve purchased Rico 4ply cotton for the first time in black It is knitting easily, however it isn’t as soft as I was hoping and seems to attract every bit of fluff. I am hoping that when finished and I wash it will become softer. I’m a huge Rowan product fan and it isn’t as soft as theirs, but they don’t do a cotton in black....justly is out. Using an old Rowan favourite pattern.

Cardigan

Didn't suit the pattern I was using - it was very plain and didn't like the look but will try with a lacy pattern instead

A quick and very helpful service- excellent!

A lovely cotton to knit with - it’s a complicated lace pattern and it holds its shape beautifully
