The order came really quickly and was well packaged.
I had previously bought the yarn from a shop but ran out so I was really relieved I was able to find it on Lovecraft. The colour match was very good, too, and the price reasonable.

Rowan Brushed Fleece is a soft, cosy yarn with a fluffy finish that customers say is a real pleasure to work with. Reviewers describe it as really nice wool that is easy to live in once knitted up.
Many knitters choose it for winter projects, and one reviewer wrote: "A lovely fluffy yarn that isn’t scratchy to wear and doesn’t make me itch."
Customers say the colours look just like the photographs, with a rich, marled depth. One reviewer enjoyed the gradual shading, and another found the colour variation carries through a finished piece really well.
Reviewers say it knits up quick, so projects move along briskly. It is easy to work with on larger needles, and several describe it as very light to wear.
Moss stitch gives a dense, snug fabric that suits a winter scarf. Garter stitch is another simple choice that shows off the colour.
Cosy casual jackets are a favourite, and one reviewer has knitted several jackets with this wool. Scarves, and garments where a soft, warm, lightweight feel matters, are also popular with knitters who enjoy the finished look.

Really beautiful, soft yarn. Lovely to knit with and to wear. I was worried that the alpaca content would make it shed but it doesn't seem to at all. Takes up quite a lot of room in my yarn storage but it's worth it!
Knits up really quickly, I knitted in moss stitch and it’s nice and dense for a winter scarf. The variation in the colour works through it really well.
This is the 5th jacket I have knitted with this wool. It is a fab Rowan pattern and the wool is great. Soft and very comfortable
Lovely yarn that is making up well into a cosy casual jacket. It needs big needles (6mm) that took some getting used to but I’m in the swing of it now.
Lovely soft and light. A really nice wool and good to knit with. Knits up quick.
This is knitting up super fast, it’s very soft and light. One thing though it has had 3 knots in it.
It's a lovely soft yarn and knits up well - perfect for a cuddly baby blanket.
Nice and soft but very "sticky" to knit with. Heaven help you if you need to rip out stitches.
Knitting a scarf. Easy to use and very soft and warm. Came on time and well packaged.
