I find the m/c/n combinations much nicer ( merino/cashmere/nylon) even my superwash that I sell on Etsy, although its amazing and all that, is not as satisfying to knit as non-superwash.

My f...A little late but I wanted to comment anyhow. My favorite superwash yarn is Shelridge Farm's W4 but I only buy it at Stitches West because of the mail ordering issue. Otherwise, I find Dream in Color a little on the woolier side though Malabrigo Rios seems to machine wash better despite being super soft. Since you tried Tosh and like it, that's hard to beat. There is so much superwash out there right now that it's really edging out the woolier yarns. As for color backlash, I can only sigh in sympathy.GinkgoKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09180302738733027519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345326142843538494.post-59580753462955515952011-02-23T21:13:16.434-05:002011-02-23T21:13:16.434-05:00I love the purple -- and the set turned out very c...I love the purple -- and the set turned out very cute!

Maybe the original wool quality? I'll be interested to read your opion of the Berocco and the Cascade.<br /><br />Lovely gifts, though! I think your colour choices were perfect. I can't imagine anyone complaining! Some people!

I've been doing a lot of baby knitting too. i'm doing a kimono in wollmeise 100% right now. i know from experience that the yarn doesn't wear well as socks but i figured for a baby that will outgrow the sweater in a few months it should be fine.knottygnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645875149236777360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345326142843538494.post-63452640955079885632011-02-22T08:08:49.619-05:002011-02-22T08:08:49.619-05:00The colour you chose for the FBS and coordinating ...The colour you chose for the FBS and coordinating hat is feminine, so whats with the attitude with respect to that colour choice?
