What about it did you not like? I haven't used it but it exists in my stash. I am using Koigu PPPM now and enjoy the roundness of the yarn and how soft it is. I also like Lornas Laces, however if pooling bothers you it may not be the best. I like the fabric from Trekking but find it is a splitty yarn so I find knitting with it slow. <BR/>Have fun yarn shoppingTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332739317825721354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-1148647579026167102006-05-26T08:46:00.000-04:002006-05-26T08:46:00.000-04:00Good for you for finishing them socks -- but how f...Good for you for finishing them socks -- but how frustrating that they're STILL not quite what you'd hoped, huh?
