The shame! <br />Ely Wool Shop is my absolute fave store! I have to only visit every other week - my salary couldn't support my habit otherwise! <br />For the record - stock-piling acrylic - I wouldn't put anything past 'the evil faceless proponents of global capitalism' - but oh the tragic shame for England! Only if we export the stuff could I hold my head up - maybe not even then! I reject designer garments knitted in A-C-R-Y-L-I-C - they are spawn of hell - and how could anyone do that to all the hard work a designer puts into a pattern.<br />Better go put some books away ...

Malabrigo IS the gateway yarn, excellent way to phrase it! Sadly, I learned it the hard way... once I let my daughter knit with Malabrigo, there was no going back to the Red Heart Super Saver.Marushka C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15501083029600186860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-67902962173603393132010-12-17T10:57:31.984-08:002010-12-17T10:57:31.984-08:00Aww, thank you.

Don't make me do my story about the shop in London where an assistant told a customer to crochet a throw in Manos, which would be hugely expensive and also who would want to handwash a throw, and I was so irritated I had to put my laceweight back and walk out.<br /><br />I did my story.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664454336482695288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-86916254406487319662010-12-17T10:49:06.509-08:002010-12-17T10:49:06.509-08:00Great interview as usual.

So far that's all I've bought because I'm scared to buy yarns I might wash wrong. *hides in shame*Kezzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417584466098954250noreply@blogger.com
