Comments about Rowan Creative Linen:
I am knitting a lacy, summer cardigan with the Creative Linen. I wanted a 'cool' yarn for summer wear. The color of the yarn is very nice, the feel of the yarn is soft and will get softer with washing. It is a bit stiff while knitting, but not detrimentally so.
The biggest drawback is that the yarn splits badly. I started knitting the cardigan on Addi turbo lace needles and had to switch to regular Addi turbos. With the intricate lace pattern, it is too easy to leave behind a loop of two of the stitches due to the yarn splitting.
A minor point of interest is that the yarn sheds tiny bits of linen as you knit so you might want to wear a smooth T-shirt or such while knitting with it.

Comments about Rowan Creative Linen:
I used this linen and cotton yarn to make a tam hat for the summer. It worked out beautifully and is lightweight and airy. color so natural too. Love the texture. I havent washed it yet.
Service and delivery comments:
I ordered a lot from WEBS. They are very fast with the shipping and products are as described. I had gotten alot of great quality yarns and brands for less money due to their discounts when buying a bigger order and/or closeout sales. Hooked.
