Comments about Rowan Wool Cotton:
The striped sweater I knit with this came out great. The yarn is soft, easy to work and it knits quickly for the weight.
The only thing was that after I wore the sweater a couple of times the yarn got fuzzy, which looks messy in the area where the 2 stripe colors meet. And it pills in the under arm area and wherever there is friction.
So it's a bit disappointing because the sweater won't look good very long and at this price, I'd expect more wear.

Comments about Rowan Wool Cotton:
This yarn is too often overlooked. It's perfect for stitch defined projects. It's a true sport weight yarn and it behaves! Washes beautifully, knit in classic designs, it will last forever and be cool enough for all seasons and soft-resilient enough for the most rambunctious baby. I love it!

Comments about Rowan Wool Cotton:
I'm using this yarn to knit a cabled sweater. When deciding on what to order, I made sure to choose a yarn that would show off cable stitches. This is the one! I can honestly see myself finishing my project with this. (Which I'm normally terrible at!)

Comments about Rowan Wool Cotton:
I needed a specific color of Debbie Bliss cashmerino which was not available, so someone recommended I use this yarn as a substitute which had the color. I was very pleased with it. This yarn is very soft to the touch, can be used against a newborn's skin, knits up very nicely, has a soft drape, yet does not loose it's shape and has great stitch definition. I will use. I feel this is a good all season yarn and definitly will use it again.
