Great Company to deal with!

I have used this yarn before, and it is so soft and pretty and knits up well. I wanted some more but the colour I wanted was out of stock. I left my email address to be notified when it was back in stock. Love Crafts told me when it was back in and I ordered it straight away.

Beautiful buttery soft yarn

Really love this yarn, I am a total convert to Rico now for all baby garments. It is beautifully soft and knits up true to size/gauge. I have already ordered more and will look at Rico first when I am ready to knit or crochet adult garments.

Rico Baby Dreams DK comes in lovely colours and is so soft when knitted - perfect for baby jumpers and cardigans. I started using this yarn many years ago and always go back to it when I’m knitting for tiny ones. I would definitely recommend it.

Lots to choose from

The yarn was so soft. I didn't have an issue with splitting on my crochet hook which is a huge plus. The yarn seemed like a true DK weight-not overly thin or overly thick, and was consistent throughout. I also thought the colors seemed true to the image
