satisfying to work with, nice even spin that gives a uniform fabric. I especially like the weight, a bit thicker than the Jameson and Smith that I usually knit with but not quite DK

Norwegian Wool by Rowan is a lovely 2-ply DK weight yarn. This yarn is so versatile and can be used in all kinds of projects, from sweaters to hats and gloves! This yarn has a good color selection, making it a great choice for colorwork projects!

The yarn is very soft. I have it set aside for a project that I'll be doing in the fall/winter, specifically a Jen Steingass sweater. The gray was a bit darker than I expected, based on the color on the screen. I'll make it work.
This yarn knits beautifully and is an excellent quality wool yarn. The color range is limited but covers the basics along with soft neutrals and a few jewel tones in elegant hues. The designers of the line, Arne and Carlos, are fabulous and show amazing projects made with this line of yarn on their YouTube channel.
I’ve used Norwegian Wool since it was first launched by Arne & Carlos. I love the colors and the stitch definition. It does split a little but is easily fixed. I wish I could find a local LYS so I didn’t have to wait for shipping. The hand feel is deceptively rough be once blocked it’s wonderful.
This was lovely wool to work with for a colorwork hat. I'd buy it again for a sweater project any day.
norwegian wool is fabulous for color work. it gives great stitch definition.
Bought for a project by Arne and Carlos, a pillow cover. I’ve used this yarn before and liked it for a hat. They designed this yarn for Rowan, and chose the pallet. It would be nice if Rowan expanded the color selection.
The wool is a real pleasure to work with. It has great stitch definition and is great for color work.
This is not my first purchase from Webs. My first was after I received a flyer with a free patter for a small star. I loved making it so much I’ve made dozens to give away and use on gift tags.
It’s a great product. Love knitting with it. Great stitch definition. Just wish there was more yardage in a ball. Currently knitting a Christmas stocking and cowl with it.
