Dive into this wonder batch: 8 brand-spankin' new skeins of Plassard Tahiti in cream. 100% cotton. Machine-washable. 3 US (3mm) needles, 25 sts and 32 rows 4"x4" (10x10 cm) square. 1.76 oz (50 grams) in each skein, 186 yds (170 m). Check this out: This yarn is just like Rowan 4 ply cotton. Literally. It's identical! Same gauge. Same composition. Even the yardage is identical (Rowan 4 ply is 186 yards, too). Resulting fabric is the same. And I know all this, because I took a skein of Rowan 4 ply cotton with me when I went to my LYS in search of a substitute. Tahiti was the answer. The only thing different was the price, as Tahiti is half the price of 4 ply cotton. Woot!
I bought this batch so I could make Alice from Rowan 25 last summer, but it got pushed out of the way with all the other projects I was knitting. Still, this yarn could be used for any Rowan pattern that requires 8 skeins or less of 4 ply cotton. I don't plan on knitting it this spring, and my local Plassard boutique is having another bi-yearly sale in the summer. And that means I can just pick up some more! In the meantime, maybe one of my online knitting buds can use this batch.
