It did not come home with me, and so I have no idea if it has many knots or thick and thin sections. I would say this defect is unusual for Rowan yarns, and disappointing.<BR/><BR/>(I also looked at the Rowan preview catalog... so many very pretty things coming this fall!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21310829.post-57563417645082138652007-07-13T23:54:00.000+00:002007-07-13T23:54:00.000+00:00I think that you're overlooking the larger problem...I think that you're overlooking the larger problem here...the fact that D is searching for "cor pulmonale and pulmonary atresia" instead of "something lovely to get for Philippa." I think that this should be addressed as soon as possible. I feel it is my duty as a friend and as a knitter to help keep these things in perspective. <BR/><BR/>p.s. so the yarn isn't supposed to be thick and thin? I'd say Rowan's due for a politely worded letter of complaint, don't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21310829.post-82555120887823303012007-07-13T22:53:00.000+00:002007-07-13T22:53:00.000+00:00Ah I see what you mean.

Do you think the over-twisted sections would relax and fluff up a bit after a wash? If it does that, the look of the end knitted piece should not be very much affected. However, I think this definitely deserves a strongly worded letter to Rowan about the poor consistency of the yarn. Say what you said here about the uneven twist/grist and include the photos you show here as evidence. As for the place you bought it at, I would mention this and say how unhappy you are with the quality of the yarn. Even if they do nothing but shrug that it's not their fault, it may make you feel better to have vented. :) At least it's still a dreamy color.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665648047088585843noreply@blogger.com
