Soft, warm, and beautiful drape
I like the soft, beautiful colours. I find it easy to knit with. I finished a scarf and have started a cardigan. It’s really warm and drapes beautifully.

I like the soft, beautiful colours. I find it easy to knit with. I finished a scarf and have started a cardigan. It’s really warm and drapes beautifully.
Good price for the wool. Disappointed that 2 balls had been knotted in the length, not what i would have expected for a higher price yarn
Love this yarn! It feels soft and quite silky, with a perfect drape. The only drawback for me is that my pattern recommends 15mm needles and I found it quite hard to maintain a good tension with such big needles. My next project with this yarn will be using the rowan-recommended needle size of 10mm or 12mm and I anticipate these needles to be easier. I haven’t ever knitted chunky or super chunky before, so super-sized needles are new to me. I’m more used 4.5mm or lower. The Big Wool yarn is so...
The Willow Lark poetry is a gorgeous soft yarn in lovely subtle shades. I have bought it for a baby jacket which I haven’t knit as yet. The Katia Evita yarn is as expected as I have used before to knit as a gift, it knits up wonderfully and gives a true glamorous look and feel.
Knitted up beautifully, really easy to work with and no snapping. I used it because I have sensitivity to synthetic fibres and I didn't show any signs of irritation whilst working it. Would deffo use again.
It is a dream to knit with, it grows quickly. This is my second batch of this wool, I took the last lot on holiday and knitted around activities. Ihad the cardigan finished within a couple of weeks
The most beautiful yarn to work with. Knits up quickly into the softest of garments. Love it
This wool is a dream. Knitted a cardigan for my granddaughter. Soft, warm and knits exactly to the gauge
The Rowan Big Wool is gorgeous to work with and 'Smoky' is a lovely colour.
Gorgeous soft yarn, great for chunky winter knits. I've used it on 4 cowls and have a hat to make next.
