Summarized by AI
The yarn is beautiful and soft, and it is a real pleasure to work with. The colours are stunning! I'm making beautiful snoods and mitts for friends. It feels like a touch of luxury on the skin, warm yet light.
The mohair in the wool makes intarsia a little tricky as it tends to wrap wound other colour yarn. The wool itself is so soft lovely to work with. Pricey but worth it. If you are going to spend hours on a garment why use cheap wool. Only knitted the yolk of one of the Rowan cardigans but would recommend pattern and wool.

I love kid classic and tend to use it double stranded with kidsilk haze. It's super warm to wear and fabulous to knit with. Recommended
Have used this yarn many times over many years and it never disappoints- it is a classic.
Again - the yarn is fabulous to use. Lovely and warm without being itchy.
This kid classic yarn is easy to knit with and grows very quickly. Gorgeous and soft
Good price and quickly delivered, I love Rowan yarn
I use Rowan kid classic for hats and scarves - every one loves this wool for winter!
Lovely yarn and should have been the right weight but when I checked the tension I had to increase the needle size so much that it was too hole-y. Although I consider myself an experienced knitter I found the pattern impossible and gave up after two rows!! The top down knitting instructions were so complicated that I gave up and spent hours finding an alternative pattern for the yarn that I had.
