Knitter's Review
August 14, 2003
|
 If you've read many of my yarn reviews, you'll know that I'm not a big fan of cotton.
Although it's beloved by many wise knitters around the world, I find its flat, inelastic properties uninviting. This week's cotton combo -- with elements of lycra and wool -- made me seriously rethink my judgments.
New This Week
I'm a cotton convert, or at least a conditional one -- the condition being that I get to use this stretchy cotton blend from Australia.
