Feels good to knit with doesn’t split and slides off the needle nicely. Is a nice weight like the results when knitted.
Beautifully soft yarn in a great variety of colours. Fantastic for fair Isle knitting, and is not itchy to wear.
Perfect yarn for beautiful projects
I love the beautiful range of colours. It is easy to knit with, and it seems to go a long way. I use it for a collared jumper for myself, which is unusual since I mostly knit for my grandchildren. The finished knit felt perfect.
Great company
I wanted to knit a 18" toy cat and the recommended wool was alpaca which I won't use due to the cruelty involved. I had a devil of a job finding a yarn that would do the business. I bought rowan tweed dk and the end result is brilliant. I think it looks better than the picture of the cat in the original wool ! Nice to knit with and a fair price.
Pleasure to spend my money at Love Craft
Just love knitting with Rowan felted tweed. I have made 14 men’s cardigans to date for friends and hubby. Would like to knit one in every colour but there are just so many cardigans a guy can wear. The pattern is from Rowan book. The tones are just beautiful.
Great yarn for knitting projects
I love the lovely yarn. I've used it in the past. I'm using it for knitting a cardigan. I've made a great jumper in this yarn before. I found a pattern for a men's cardigan in the specific yarn. Great.
Perfect for winter projects
I'm using it for a stripey jumper with other leftover Rowan felted tweed. The colours blend easily, especially for winter wear.
Initially I was unhappy about the cost of the yarn, but it is worth every penny. It is gorgeous to knit with and because it's so light, goes a lot further. As a result I am knitting gorgeous beanies using half the wool the pattern stated. And the freckles of colour woven into the yarn lift, even the darkest shade, in a really subtle but beautiful way. I wouldn't use it for large projects, due to the cost, but it is perfect for hats, gloves, socks and scarves.
Warm and luxurious hat yarn
I'm using it for a hat. It’s warm but not very thick so it will be slouchy and luxurious.
