Review: Very easy to carve into - I love this. I've recently started lino printing, and love this pink lino. I have damaged hands and find this very easy to carve, whilst still getting a sharp line. Print detail is very good. It's not quite as detailed as with, for example, essdee lino, but for ease of use I'd definitely choose this. It's a small piece, and not cheap, so I'd recommend being sure of what you're going to produce and not start carving into this spur of the moment. I'd also recommend aiming for a design that maybe isn't highly or delicately detailed. I'll be buying it again, I really enjoy working with it. Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.
Review: Super easy to work with - I love this stuff. I have done a lot of work with linoleum engraving and the beauty of this is that it cuts like butter and I can use the same tools that I already own. It inks well too. I just wish it wasn't so pricey.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The product is great
*by A***S on 7 December 2022*

I have purchased this item before and it is great, easy to use and soft. However I put 4 stars because this time I ordered it and it's still time that it hasn't arrived after a week I ordered it.
