Rowan Kidsilk Haze

It's difficult to handle due to the fluffy mohair content. And the silk threat breaks easily. I'm currently knitting a lace shawl and it takes a lot of time because you have to be very careful, especially when knitting complicated patterns, e.g. with ssk and k2tog. It's quite fiddly. But the touch is very cosy and it barely loses any hair e.g. when wearing a light colour on black clothes. Fazit: good to wear but challenging to knit.

Very difficult to handle. And the threat breaks easily.

Beautiful yarn. Lovely texture and colours. Good quality.

This is a lovely delicate yarn and knits fancy patterns beautifully. There is a good choice of colours and it is not too fluffy once knitted using two balls of yarn.

It is almost ehreal, soft, feminine and utterly divine

I would definitely recommend this yarn. Beautiful lightweight yarn. Excellent colour choices when available. Knits up beautifully and hand washes well in cool water. See previous comprehensive review for same product.

I definitely recommend this fabulous yarn. Beautiful lace weight yarn in an array of fabulous colours which knits up into the most delicate of cardigans , it weighs almost nothing - like gossamer. I have made one previously and love the look so much over sun dresses that I have bought 3 different colours, plus one for a friends birthday for cool summer evenings. It is a little more expensive so I usually wait until Lovecrafts have their special offers on 😉. It can be a bit tricky if you have to pull any work back as the mohair weaves itself into the rest of the yarn, but if you have patience and a small bodkin or tapestry needle its easier to tease the yarn apart. Occasionally I have had to carefully snip the hairs apart with the points of my little scissors. For a quality, beautiful look it is well worth all the effort put in. It hand washes well too in cool water. I give it a quick, gentle spin in the washer and lay out flat on a towel to dry. I’ve not experienced any problems and it keeps its shape well, looking like new again. Great for summer holiday packing for those breezy evenings sitting outside..

Lovely soft yarn, easy to knit with but would advise checking tension. Price was excellent.

Love it carried along.

Love it. Making a scarf blending various colours with a simple pattern. Results are lovely Jan
