I've never found whacking it or fulling it up before use to give me what I want for yarn, especially since I often weave with it.<br />As to the knitted samples, they are both really nice. The stockinette stitch looks soft and the banded colours stands out as a nice feature. The purl side colouring looks a tad more sophisticated, although I'm not a big fan of vast tracts of purl stitches or garter stitch, I think I like it betterQNinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-12168016141180904042010-07-03T16:25:59.909-07:002010-07-03T16:25:59.909-07:00I am tickled that Amanda has joined the fold!I am tickled that Amanda has joined the fold!Allisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-68627627670530162672010-07-03T03:32:24.322-07:002010-07-03T03:32:24.322-07:00The knitting: I prefer the reverse stockinette, as...The knitting: I prefer the reverse stockinette, as far as I can decide from the photos.<br />Thanks for the description of the way you full your wool.

It depends what you like. (And I'm not being diplomatic, just uncharacteristically un-opinionated.)<br /><br />That's cool that you were able to get a new spinner going on a wheel!<br /><br />And cool that your soap is available in a store now too!!<br /><br />Happy July!<br />Sue<br /><br />PS: Thanks for the moth advice. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm leaning toward throwing the yarn away and just not taking chances. Hopefully that's not blasphemy!Life Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-35114519554294137972010-07-02T10:04:20.179-07:002010-07-02T10:04:20.179-07:00I’m so glad to see another new spinner.

How New?<br />I have a knitting group that used to meet there in the summer. (Now we meet at Whole Foods) May be a group of us spinners should go welcome her.<br />You spindle spinning is looking great.Fiber Flooziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834863433707916908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-74396317205048933442010-07-02T08:23:42.128-07:002010-07-02T08:23:42.128-07:00I can't believe Kiernan is 13!

It shows off the yarn better. <br /><br />I haven't whomped yarn in a while - I keep forgetting! I do know that I wouldn't do it on the Merino/Tussah/Bamboo, though. It comes out so cool just washing lightly and hanging to dry.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-59080535531498975032010-07-02T07:38:06.889-07:002010-07-02T07:38:06.889-07:00That is a neat old box for your soap cdisplay.
