Perfect for my Rowan sweater

Last year, I bought a pack of 10 DK. I made a Rowan sweater with it and only used half of the pack. This year, I bought two extra colours to use all my yarn in a different pattern. The new yarn mixed in perfectly. It goes a long way and feels lovely and soft.

Perfect yarn for my sweater

I wanted a dark blue to make a top-down sweater with snowflake motifs, and this yarn was perfect. It knits up so beautifully, I've loved it so far. I'm using a size 4 US needle, and I love the results.

Good service

Yarn thickness changed throughout a single ball. It also had fraying in the middle of the ball, yarn split a lot as well. Yarn is fine if you know what to expect, but it’s a cheap product, so quality is not great.

Great value for money when you consider the fibre content. It’s not the softest yarn I have worked with but has lovely stitch definition.
