I bought a ball of this last year and am currently using it to knit a square for 'The Knitter's' magazine charity appeal. It is lovely, soft and springy and I think it would make a good sub for Rowan's Wool Cotton.

There are a couple of patterns in the Kim Hargreaves books I would love to knit but would cost about £60 in wool cotton but almost half the price in this.

It is officially a baby yarn but the colours are quite deep.

My LYS started stocking this a while ago and it does feel very soft doesn't it  Cool though I thought it looked quite fine - more like a 4 Ply. The colours were lovely!!!

What a lovely selection of colors especially for a baby yarn.  My LYS doesn't stock it, surprise, surprise!

Amazingly my LYS does stock it! The pack I have in stash came from there, gorgeous muted purple. The colour range is really lovely.
