Comments about Rowan Denim:
The yarn is fine but the color is completly different than pictured. I thought I was getting a dark blue jean and this is a light baby blue. I kept the yarn but was disappointed in the color.

Comments about Rowan Denim:
I was looking forward to this yarn. Was only 4-6 rows into a small sample and my fingertips were stained with blue dye. Unfortunate/unhealthy. Otherwise, the yarn had a lovely feel.

Comments about Rowan Denim:
I bought 4 balls of Rowan Denim #225 after hearing good things about it on Eunny Jang's blog. When I started Knitty's cabled Shedir hat pattern with it, I was amazed at how durable this yarn is! At first, it feels a bit funny in your hands (and it turned my bamboo needles a little blue), but once your project is done you just stick it in the wash, and voila! A soft, stretchy, comfy knit piece comes out. FYI - I purposely put the finished hat through the ringer--hot wash and sturdy dry--to mimic Eunny's fading detail on the ridges of the cables, and it came out better than I thought it would. Even the shrinking detail disclosed on the label came out perfectly. I'd recommend this yarn to anyone looking for a comfy but sturdy washable fabric.

This is my new favorite yarn!
Comments about Rowan Denim:
I love this yarn. My sweater is amazingly soft. Follow directions for shrinkage. I've now bought the white yarn and hope they add more colors.
Comments about Rowan Denim:
The yarn wears and washes beautifully. Follow the label for shrinkage. Shrinks in length only. It's a better fabric after washing. Some fading. Comfortable as that favorite old tee shirt! Highly recommend denim and can't wait to knit 2nd sweater in a lighter blue.. Enjoy!

Merchant response: It's possible for some yarns to have a little more dye applied to them than necessary. This can cause some of the dye to rub off onto your hands. It should wash off with simple soap and water.
