I've always considered cotton to be somewhat one-dimensional and unyielding.

Huggable Cotton

Imagine my surprise this week when I discovered cotton's secret, soft, and totally squeezable side. Spun in Italy for an American company, Reynolds Cabana is a plush softy that is actually composed of 21 tiny strands tightly spun together.

In the Forums

Don't miss BessH's ongoing journal detailing her progress in The Knitting Guild of America's Master Knitter program. She proves once and for all that truth is more entertaining than fiction.

Read the journal.
