Nice feel but splits easily
I'm using it for a cardigan. It feels nice. It tends to split. It's ok. I would like a pattern recommendation.

This is the most beautiful yarn. I'm knitting a baby sweater. The color is gorgeous soft. I'll make myself a sweater with it next.
I have knitted several garments in this yarn. It is very soft and nice to hold when l am knitting. It washes beautifully and comes in a great range of colours. The only downside is that it splits easily as l knit, so l have to watch my work to pick up any missed threads, hence the 4 stars.
The yarn is lovely and soft but splits quite a lot. Ive also had some knots and some parts where the strands have unraveled and broken and I’ve had to cut the yarn and discard some lengths. The yarn does drape beautifully though and I would buy another batch again. Maybe I was just unfortunate with this batch. Arrived really quickly.
The only thing is that it splits a bit so have to be careful. It's not worth taking a star off for though. It's lovely and soft and a beautiful colour. I'm working in stripes with other colours in my cardigan. I'm enjoying this pretty.
King Cole Bamboo Cotton is a beautiful yarn to work with, very soft a suitable for newborn babies.
Lovely soft yarn, using to make baby clothes, it does split easily hence 4 stars
King Cole Bamboo Cotton has a lovely feel to it and has some great colours but it splits easily.
I am knitting with this yarn at the moment. It is soft but is more difficult to knit with as it tends to split if you’re not careful.
I’m undecided about this yarn. It is soft and sleek, feels and looks great when all goes well. But it separates easily when crocheting and the pulled thread is very challenging to get back into the strand cleanly. I don’t often work with cotton yarns.
