| I love biggy print, it's a gorgeous yarn and knits up very quickly for instant gratification! It does wear after time, but it's spun loosely so it will shed. Be gentle with the garment and you'll have no problem! |

| This knits like a dream. The simplest pattern looks professionally made thanks to the texture and feel of this yarn, A+! |

| I hestitate to give such a low rating to this yarn because the feel is truly a personal preference--but wow, is this stuff scratchy! I can typically wear merino wool next to my skin, and have never had problems with Big Wool. But even with a shirt worn underneath, I couldn't wear my Biggy Print sweater for longer than a minute. It also shed more than I'd expected. Lesson learned: never purchase yarn online that I haven't felt in person first! |

| I have read reviews of Biggy Print where people complain about the yarn pilling and shredding. Most "thick and thin" yarns are not tightly spun- this yarn is extremely soft and fluffy; so when designing with it, you need to take that into account. This is a novelty yarn best suited to garments for adults. Your finished piece will need some tender loving care- but that is not unusual for novely yarns. I absolutely love it; the wool is of extremely high quality and the muted colorways are gorgeous. It is fun to work with and the ultra bulky size allows for some incredible and unique textures. Try knitting it with size 19 needles instead of the recommended size 36. It makes a luxurious, super soft and warm sweater! |

| Since first trying Biggy Print a few years ago, I've made several hats and scarves and mittens as well as a cardigan and a shrug. It makes fabulous gifts because it's so bulky and fast. Instant gratification! |

| Yarn is wonderful and soft, but the color was nothing like the photo. It was dull and not the lively colors shown in Rowan's descriptions. I will not use it and feel disappointed by this purchase. |
