Summarized by AI
Absolutely wonderful yarn. Pleasant to work with. The knitted stitches are crisp. I used it in garten stitch, stockinette and lace work. The result was high definition in all three techniques. Wash very well.I hope to have the opportunity to use this yarn again in the near future.
Rowan is my favourite brand and all yarns are excellent quality. Softyak is indeed soft yet has definition. The yarn itself is like a chainstitch so doesn't 'strand' like other cottons. That's why I choose Rowan, you can't go wrong when you pay for quality.
A pleasure to knit with. Very nice. I am successfully knitting cushions by Arne Carlos. Had to enlarge their digital patterns to A3. Highlight every row and put an arrow which way the row is going. From left to right or right to left. That way I keep order. Great fun and good results.
I love Rowan yarns and patterns and this yarn is lovely to knit with and gives great stitch definition
I like Rowan Softyak DK very much. It’s soft, durable and has a beautiful stitch definition, excellent for cables! I’ve made the Hearten Cardigan by Kim Hargreaves in dark green (it’s called pasture I think) and I’m now working on my second one in the color Driftwood. Recently I purchased a darker blue for a sweater for my husband, I’m curious to see its stitch definition on a plain stockinette pattern.
Truly remarkable yarn and I'm glad that I chose it for a project. Purchased this blind and I am impressed with it's quality, color and ease of stitching.
This yarn is wonderful to knit with. It creates a beautiful even fabric and is delightful to handle. As always the Love Kintting team deliver promptly with efficiently. I wouldn’t use any other company.
Love this yarn. The items I knit with have a long shelf life - the item still looks good 3 summers on after frequent wear, no piling or matting. The only thing I will say is that the colours on the websites are not true. The yarn I received was several shades darker. However, the colours are beautiful. I'm very pleased.
Favourite yarn for children knits and washes well
I love this product, I knitted an Aran pattern sweater and it shows the pattern detail really well.
