It arrived quickly, and it's a lovely product with a great colour that knits up really well. I'm using it for a pet iguana for my grandson. It has a sharp texture, so the cotton is firm for shaping.
I am creating a mesh cotton cardigan with appliques of flowers and swirls. I have made a start and it looks just as I hoped it would. Lovely to crochet with and some gorgeous colours too xx
Beautiful yarn to work with and superb quality. I have used it many things and it feels so good to wear.
I have used this Yarn many times in the past. It’s so good that as well as another summer knit for myself I am knitting for a friend in Australia too! It’s soft comfortable and great to wear! You won’t be disappointed!
This is a beautiful yarn for sweaters. I use quite small needles to get a tension that produces a fabric that is firm and doesn't loose its' shape but is still very drapable. This tension is also good for fair isle and colourwork.
This yarn comes in a wide range range of colours. It is east to knit with and finished garment looks great. Also washes well. Great quality and price.
2nd time of purchasing this wool as it’s so beautiful to knit with, as well fresh soft to touch, my daughter wear the jumper I made all the time.
I had never tried Summerlite and am so happy I did. It's a really nice cotton to work with and I love the soft, muted colors. I'm knitting Siran from Kim Hargreaves and really loving working with it!
Gorgeous wool, perfect for my Mary's Tearoom Bunny project and recommended by the author. Slightly more expensive but lasts forever.
I am using Summerlite to crochet a summer top. So far, it has been easy to work with and there is a good length on the ball, with no knots. Obviously I have not washed ot yet so can only commit myself to 4 stars.
