Beautifully soft luxurious yarn. Great twist and looks great knitted up. I’m using it blended with Kidsilk Haze to make an Aran weight yarn and it’s perfect

Summarized by AI
I’ve used Rowan products for many years and my personal closet consists of many jumpers in Rowan Alpaca Soft DK yarn. The yarn knits up beautifully, looks exquisite especially when knitted up in cable and bobble designs. I have received many compliments about items made in this yarn.
Really disappointing service
This wool is gorgeous, soft, knits beautifully, lovely colours. Unfortunately Love Crafts have completely failed to help with more of the same dye lot when I ran out as they abandoned all communication during the crisis.
Beautiful yarn
Bought incorrectly, but then bought Kidsilk haze to blend with it and now perfect for my Petite Knit Sophie Hood.
Good buy
Very soft wool, pleasant to knit and looks great. I'm making a scarf and it looks nice (so far), and the wool looks and feels exactly as described on the website
Lovely to knit with and very soft. No itchiness when worn next to the skin. Am knitting a hat for bird watching son and hope it is warm too. More colours would be nice.
Fast and efficient
Beautiful yarn Very soft and lovely to knit or crochet with
