Thank you taking the time to watch the podcast! All is well here in the North woods. I am whiling away the days with dogs, fiber and fabric. I hope you are all well and in good spirits.

Sweater yarns – while I love Briar Rose Fibers, I have not had rousing success knitting sweaters with Joyful (100% Polwarth) it pills horrendously, and it is quite depressing at the volume of pilling. Great yarn, poor application. However, Sheepspot Clun Forest is perhaps the best yarn I have ever knit into a sweater. I knit Thea Coleman’s Vodka Lemonade out of Clun Forest and in over a year, not a single solitary pill! It looks like the day I cast off. Seriously – fantastic stuff.
So, what did I learn – yummy, squooshy yarns are not best for a sweater knit – where friction and abrasion happens every time you wear it. However, those yarns that feel “not pleasant” or “too scratchy” are perfect. When I washed up the Clun Forest, the hand improved dramatically, however, it wears like iron.
Thank you! I am NOT distracted by your nature sidelines and am also a cranky ‘old’ woman, on a small lake with jet skis…….argh The dresses look good and that Hap book is amazing. I love the Montbretia for the imagery and the Houland.
